“The Amazon Echo is one of the most popular smart speakers on the market today. How do I play Apple Music on Amazon Echo?”
As a powerful music speaker, Amazon Echo lets you play almost any music service. Compared to Google Home and Apple HomePod, Amazon Echo can do more: compatible with smarter home devices, lower cost, and more color and fabric options. There are more types of Echo devices to choose from, such as Echo, Echo dot, Echo Show, Echo Spot and Echo Plus. To play music streaming on Amazon Echo: Firstly, you need to use the Amazon Alexa app for iOS or Android, and secondly, log in to the streaming music site's account in the Alexa app, so you can access the streaming music platform. Amazon Echo aims to provide hands-free voice control for many of the most popular music streaming services through its virtual assistant "Alexa", including Amazon Music, Prime Music, Spotify, Pandora, iHeartRadio and TuneIn.
But, where is Apple Music? In the past, Apple Music is not the built-in App of Amazon Echo. With the rapid growth of Apple Music users, support for Apple Music on the Amazon Echo is rolled out today, starting in the United States and giving iPhone and iPad owners the option to pump out their favorite jams without signing up for an Apple Music competitor like Spotify Premium. The following article will introduce two simple solutions to help you listen to Apple Music through Amazon Echo.
