Amazon Music is the default music streaming service on all Fire TV devices. If you have an active Apple Music subscription, you can link the service to your streaming stick instead of paying for Amazon Music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll show you how to stream music, radio stations, and podcasts on Fire TV Sticks<\/a> using Apple\u2019s streaming services. The steps in this tutorial apply to all Fire TV Stick models\/generations<\/a> that support voice interaction with Alexa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use Apple Music on Fire TV Stick<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no standalone Apple Music app for Fire TV devices. But, of course, there\u2019s an official workaround for streaming songs on a Fire TV Stick via Apple Music. The trick is to enable the Apple Music Alexa Skill<\/a> in your Amazon account\u2014i.e., link Apple Music to Alexa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Link Apple Music to Fire TV Stick on the Alexa Mobile App<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The easiest way to link Apple Music to a Firestick is through the Alexa app on iOS and Android devices. Download the app from the Google Play Store<\/a> if you\u2019re using Android or App Store<\/a> for iPhone and iPad users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Follow these steps to link Apple Music to your Fire TV device on the Amazon Alexa app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Open the Amazon Alexa app and sign in to the same Amazon account on your Fire TV Stick.<\/li>
  2. Go to the \u201cHome\u201d tab and tap Link Music Services<\/strong>.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    If you don\u2019t find \u201cLink Music Services\u201d on the homepage, select Discover Skills & Games<\/strong> instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Tap the search icon in the top-right corner, type \u201capple music\u201d in the search box, and select Apple Music<\/strong> in the search results.<\/li>
    2. Tap Enable To Use<\/strong>.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

      Alternatively, go to Settings<\/strong> > Music & Podcasts<\/strong> > Link New Service<\/strong>, tap Apple Music<\/strong>, and tap Enable To Use<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
      1. The app will open the Apple ID sign-in page in your default web browser. Enter your Apple account credentials to link Apple Music to your Amazon account.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        If your Apple ID account uses two-factor authentication, provide the security code sent to your phone number or Apple device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        1. Finally, tap Allow<\/strong> to grant Amazon Alexa access to your Apple Music subscription.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

          If the Amazon Alexa app isn\u2019t available in your country, link your Apple Music account to Amazon on the web app. Check the next section for detailed steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Link Apple Music to Fire TV Stick on the Alexa Web App<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

                    \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

                    Make sure you\u2019re signed in to your Amazon account<\/a> on the web browser. Additionally, ensure it\u2019s the same Amazon account on your Fire TV Stick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    1. If you aren\u2019t signed in, select the Sign In<\/strong> button and provide your account credentials on the next page. Jump to step #3 if you\u2019re already signed in.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                      \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
                      1. When you enable the Apple Music skill, your browser should open a new tab to link your Apple ID account. Select the Link Account<\/strong> button If your browser doesn\u2019t open the tab automatically.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                        \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
                        1. Enter your Apple ID account credentials to link Alexa and Apple Music.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                          \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

                          You may need to authenticate the sign-in if your Apple ID account uses two-factor authentication. Provide the code sent to your phone number or Apple devices to proceed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
                          1. Select Allow<\/strong> to link both services.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                            \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

                            You\u2019ll get an on-screen message (and an email from Amazon) that Apple Music has been successfully linked to Alexa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

                            Before proceeding, make Apple Music your default music library and station service in the Amazon Alexa App.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            Set Apple Music the Default Music Player <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                            You can only make Apple Music your preferred music streaming service through the Alexa (mobile or web) app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            Method 1: Use the Alexa Mobile App<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

                            On the Alexa mobile app, you should get a prompt to \u201cChoose a default Music Service\u201d when you link Apple Music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            Tap the Visit Music Settings<\/strong> button, tap Change<\/strong> in the \u201cMusic\u201d section, and tap Apple Music<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            If you don\u2019t get the prompt, follow the steps below to make Apple Music your default music streaming service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            1. Open the Alexa app, tap More<\/strong> in the bottom-right corner, and select Settings<\/strong>.<\/li>

                                1. Visit the Alexa App (alexa.amazon.com<\/a>) on your web browser. Open the Settings<\/strong> menu and select Music & Media<\/strong> in the \u201cAlexa Preferences\u201d section.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                                  1. Select Choose default music services<\/strong> in the \u201cAccount Settings\u201d section.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                                    \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
                                    1. Choose Apple Music<\/strong> in the \u201cDefault music library\u201d and \u201cDefault station service\u201d sections. Select Done<\/strong> to save the changes.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                                      \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

                                      Now, you can play music and radio stations via Apple Music on your Amazon Firestick. Press and hold the microphone button<\/strong> on your Alexa Voice Remote to open Apple Music and say, \u201cAlexa, play Apple Music.\u201d This command will open Apple Music on your Fire TV Screen and shuffle songs in your playlists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      You can also instruct Alexa to play a specific song or album. Press and hold the mic button<\/strong> on your Fire TV remote and say, for example, \u201cAlexa, play \u2018Give Me Love\u2019 by Ed Sheeran.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      Link Apple Podcasts to Fire TV Stick<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
                                      \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

                                      Alexa also supports Apple Podcasts. So if you often stream podcasts on your iPhone or iPad via Apple Podcasts, you should link the podcast service to your Fire TV Stick. Even better, make it your Fire TV\u2019s default podcast service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      Like Apple Music, you can link Apple Podcasts to your Amazon account via your Amazon Skills webpage or the Amazon Alexa App.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      Method 1: Use the Alexa Skills Webpage <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

                                      Visit the Apple Podcasts page on the Alexa Skills website<\/a> and select Enable<\/strong>. You won\u2019t be required to sign in to your Apple ID account if you\u2019ve done that when linking Apple Music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                            Unlink or Disconnect Apple Music and Alexa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                                            If you no longer need Apple Music on your Fire TV Stick, here\u2019s how to unlink the service from Alexa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                            Open the Alexa App settings menu, select Music & Podcasts<\/strong>, select Apple Music<\/strong>, tap Disable Skill<\/strong>, and select Disable<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                            \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

                                            Alternatively, head to the Apple Music Alexa Skills webpage<\/a>, sign in to your Amazon account, and select Disable<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can only play\/pause music, switch between the previous and next song in your library, and like\/dislike songs. Those are the basic controls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
