How to use Apple Music with Amazon’s Alexa? Listening to streaming music through the Amazon Echo smart speakers is finally possible, although not everyone knows how. Apple Music finally enters the range of skills available with devices compatible with Alexa, the voice assistant of the e-commerce giant that has been able to be appreciated over the last year.
Until recently, Apple and Amazon did not get along so well: Apple Music, despite the number of users, was not in fact enabled and playing streaming music through the popular platform, simply by calling Alexa, was impossible (forcing users to turn to rival services like Spotify and Amazon Music).

Apple Music: how to use it with Alexa and Amazon Echo
The integration of Apple Music with Alexa allows you to use Amazon’s voice assistant to play songs, playlists and podcasts to all users who rely on Amazon Echo devices (but not only).
First of all, of course, you need to subscribe to Apple Music and then connect your devices to the choice of Echo smart speakers, Fire TV and Sonos: all with the simplicity of voice commands.
How to set it up? The operation is simple, but requires some precise steps: open the Alexa app, select “Skills and Games” and then download the appropriate Apple Music extension which you will then need to enable.
Once this is done, you must of course access the service with your credentials, via the Apple ID.
Now, you just need to say phrases like “Hey Alexa, open Apple Music” to start playing your music directly on the chosen artificial intelligence devices developed by Amazon.
