The expansion comes three months after Apple allowed <!---->Apple Music<!----> to be streamed on Amazon Echo speakers using the Alexa voice assistant.
On the Fire TV, users can use commands like "Alexa, play music by Stevie Nicks," or "Alexa, play a Fleetwood Mac album" to play content directly from <!---->Apple Music<!---->.
It can be enabled by going to the Alexa app on an Android or iOS device and activating the <!---->Apple Music<!----> skill. Those who have already set up <!---->Apple Music<!----> with Alexa for Echo devices will not need to repeat the steps.
Right now, <!---->Apple Music<!----> is limited to the Fire TV and Amazon Echo speakers, though it may be expanded to third-party Alexa devices in the future.
Apple's effort to allow <!---->Apple Music<!----> to be streamed on third-party platforms is part of a deeper push to grow services revenue. Apple is also planning to expand iTunes to Samsung Smart TVs in the form of an iTunes app, and
AirPlay 2 functionality is being built into recent smart TV sets from a number of manufacturers like Sony and LG.
