How to Get Apple Music on Smart TV
If you love listening to music, you probably already know about Apple Music. As a music streaming service, it offers access to millions of songs, curated playlists, and radio stations, all ad-free. With its seamless integration with Apple devices, its easy to access Apple Music on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, but what about on your smart TV? Is it possible? The answer is yes, and well show you how to do it.
Before we begin, its important to note that not all smart TVs are created equal. Some models are compatible with Apple Music and come with the app pre-installed, such as Samsung Smart TVs from 2018 and later. However, if your TV doesnt have the app, you can still use other methods to get Apple Music on your smart TV.
One option is to use your TVs built-in browser to access the Apple Music website. This can be an easy way to listen to music without downloading any additional apps, but it may not provide the best user experience. The website may not be optimized for TV screens, and navigation can be clunky, especially if youre using a remote control to browse.
A better option is to use Apples AirPlay 2 technology. This feature allows you to wirelessly stream audio and video from your Apple device to your TV. To use AirPlay, youll need an Apple device running iOS 11.4 or later, an Apple TV device, or a TV that supports AirPlay 2 (such as recent Samsung, LG, and Sony models).
Once you have the necessary hardware, follow these steps to get Apple Music on your smart TV through AirPlay:
1. Connect your Apple device to the same Wi-Fi network as your TV.
2. Open the Apple Music app on your device and start playing a song.
3. Swipe up from the bottom of your screen to open the Control Center.
4. Tap the Screen Mirroring button (it looks like a rectangle with a triangle at the bottom) and select your TV from the AirPlay menu.
5. Your devices screen should now be mirrored on your TV. You can navigate and control playback through your device or the TVs remote control.
And thats it! With AirPlay, you can enjoy Apple Music on your smart TV with just a few taps. Whether youre relaxing at home, hosting a party, or just want to listen to music on a bigger screen, AirPlay makes it easy to stream your favorite tunes on your TV. |
