Listen to music with Apple Music Voice on iPad
Apple offers the Apple Music Voice Plan, a new subscription option for Apple Music designed around Siri. Using just your voice, you can access millions of songs, tens of thousands of playlists (including hundreds of mood and activity playlists), personalized mixes, genre stations, and Apple Music radio.
In addition to streaming music from Apple Music, you can play music you purchased from the iTunes Store and music you’ve synced to iPad. You can also stream music with AirPlay, play music using Home Sharing, and search the Apple Music library and your music library.
Note: Not all features are available in the Apple Music Voice Plan. For more information, see the Apple Support article How to use Apple Music Voice.

As an Apple Music Voice subscriber, you can play music on all your devices that have Siri turned on, including HomePod mini, AirPods, or any other Apple device, and when using CarPlay.
Tip: If you don’t subscribe to Apple Music, you can get a 7-day free preview of Apple Music Voice by using Siri to play a song or artist in Apple Music. This one-time free preview will not renew. After 7 days, you can subscribe to the Voice plan in the Apple Music app and get a 1-month free trial.
New subscribers can start a trial and cancel at any time. If you end your Apple Music Voice subscription, you can no longer stream Apple Music songs.
