How to Set Up Apple Music on Fire TV Devices

What do you need

• An Apple Music subscription.
• An Amazon Fire TV that you’ve already set up with the Alexa mobile app.
• The iOS or Android device you’ve already set up with Alexa.

Enable Apple Music Alexa Skill

The setup process is very similar to setting up Apple Music on Echo devices.

If you’ve already enabled Apple Music on an Amazon Echo, your Fire TV device will automatically be able to use Apple Music. However, if you’re looking to add Apple Music to your Fire TV without ever having it set up on an Echo, you’ll need to enable a skill first.

1. Access Apple Music Alexa Skill in the Alexa app or your web browser.
2. Select the “Activate” button to activate the skill.
3. Sign in to your Apple Music account with your Apple ID.
4. Authorize the access request.
5. You can choose Apple Music as the default music provider for Alexa, if you want.

Play Apple Music on Your Fire TV

1. Grab your Fire TV remote, press the mic button, and tell Fire TV to “Play Apple Music.”
2. If it’s working properly, you’ll hear something like: “Playing your song on Apple Music.”
