Play Apple Music with Alexa

Apple Music for Alexa is available only in the United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand.

• An Apple Music subscription. If you’re not a subscriber, you can join on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or on your Android device.
• An Amazon Echo, Amazon Fire TV, or Alexa-enabled Sonos speaker that you already set up with the Amazon Alexa app on your iOS or Android device.
• The iOS or Android device that you already set up with Alexa. Make sure that you update to the latest iOS and check the App Store to see if there are updates for the Amazon Alexa app. If you use an Android device, check the Google Play Store for any updates to the Apple Music app or Amazon Alexa app.

1. Open the Amazon Alexa app, then tap the menu button  in the upper-left corner.
2. Tap Settings.
3. In Alexa Preferences, tap Music.
4. Tap Link New Service.
   
5. Tap Apple Music.
6. Tap Enable To Use.
7. Follow the instructions to sign in with your Apple ID. You can get help to sign in using two-factor authentication.

You can also enable the Apple Music skill in the Alexa skill store on the web.

If you don’t want to say “on Apple Music” each time you ask Alexa to play something, you can make Apple Music your default music service on Alexa. Here's how.

1. Open the Amazon Alexa app, then tap the menu button  in the upper-left corner.
2. Tap Settings.
3. Tap Music.
4. Under Account Settings, tap Default Services.
5. Tap Apple Music.

 

You can ask Alexa to play songs, artists, albums, or genres from Apple Music. You can also play Beats 1 radio, playlists from Apple Music's editors, or playlists in your iCloud Music Library. Say something like "Alexa, play Chill radio on Apple Music," or "Alexa, play Ariana Grande on Apple Music."

If you want to listen to Apple Music in stereo or across multiple rooms, create a Multi-Room Music group in the Alexa app. After you set this up, you can listen to Apple Music on two or more Echo devices at the same time. 

 

1. Open the Amazon Alexa app, then tap the menu button  in the upper-left corner.
2. Tap Settings.
3. In Alexa Preferences, tap Music.
4. Tap Apple Music.
5. Tap Disable Skill.

 

If you need help to set up or use Alexa, your Amazon Echo device, or your Fire TV device, get help from Amazon.

If you need help to set up or use your Sonos speaker, get help from Sonos.
