Use Siri to play music on iPad
You can use Siri to control music playback in the Music app .
Activate Siri, then make your request. Siri supports a wide variety of commands:
Play Apple Music: You can play any song, artist, album, playlist, or station. Say, for example, “Play ‘Old Jack Swing’ by Georgia Anne Muldrow” or “Play James Blake.” Siri can also play popular songs from different genres or years. Say “Play the top songs from 1990.” You can also play music on AirPlay 2-enabled devices in a specific room. Say something like “Play the latest album by St. Vincent in the living room.”
Let Apple Music be your personal DJ: Say something like “Play my Chill Mix” or “Play something I like.”
Add music from Apple Music to your library: Say, for example, “Add ‘Take My Breath’ by The Weeknd to my library.” Or while playing something, say “Add this to my library.” (Apple Music subscription required. Not available with Apple Music Voice.)
Add a song or album to a playlist: While playing a song, say something like “Add this song to my Workout playlist” or “Add this album to my Sunday Morning playlist.”
Find out more about the current song: Say “What’s playing?”, “Who sings this song?”, or “Who is this song by?”
Tip: You can also identify a song playing on or near iPad by adding the Music Recognition control to Control Center. Go to Settings
> Control Center, then tap
next to Music Recognition. With a song playing, open Control Center, then tap
.
Play songs based on their lyrics: Say “Play the song with the lyrics” and then say a key phrase from the lyrics.
Siri can also help you find music in the iTunes Store. See Get music, movies, and TV shows in the iTunes Store on iPad.
