Title: Apple Music Now Available on Amazon Fire TV Post by: HCK on March 16, 2019, 04:05:08 pm Apple Music Now Available on Amazon Fire TV
Amazon today expanded its Apple Music (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/apple-music/) integration to the Amazon Fire TV (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT209250), allowing Fire TV owners to ask Alexa to play songs from the <!---->Apple Music<!----> service. According to CNBC (https://www.cnbc.com/2019/03/13/apple-music-for-amazon-fire-tv.html), <!---->Apple Music<!----> on the Amazon Fire TV is available starting today. <img src="(http://cdn.macrumors.com/article-new/2019/03/amazonfireapplemusiccube-800x325.jpg)" alt="" width="800" height="325" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-684182" /> 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 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/airplay/) 2 functionality is being built into recent smart TV sets from a number of manufacturers like Sony and LG. <div class="linkback">Tags: Amazon (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/amazon/), Apple Music (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-music/)</div> This article, "Apple Music Now Available on Amazon Fire TV (https://www.macrumors.com/2019/03/13/apple-music-amazon-fire-tv/)" first appeared on MacRumors.com (https://www.macrumors.com) Discuss this article (https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/apple-music-amazon-fire-tv.2173263/) in our forums <div class="feedflare"> <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/MacRumors-Front?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img> (http://feeds.macrumors.com/~ff/MacRumors-Front?a=-t5QKsdPsN8:3f25D-uWw4I:yIl2AUoC8zA) <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/MacRumors-Front?d=6W8y8wAjSf4" border="0"></img> (http://feeds.macrumors.com/~ff/MacRumors-Front?a=-t5QKsdPsN8:3f25D-uWw4I:6W8y8wAjSf4) <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/MacRumors-Front?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img> (http://feeds.macrumors.com/~ff/MacRumors-Front?a=-t5QKsdPsN8:3f25D-uWw4I:qj6IDK7rITs) </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MacRumors-Front/~4/-t5QKsdPsN8" height="1" width="1" alt=""/> Source: Apple Music Now Available on Amazon Fire TV (https://www.macrumors.com/2019/03/13/apple-music-amazon-fire-tv/) |
