Apple Music with Alexa

[MrMoris]

Hey,

I just received a new Amazon Echo and therefore I had to switch to Spotify.
Honestly, I really miss Apple Music, because it works much better, has better music recommendation, cheaper, and includes lyrics to every song.

I was wondering if you think Apple Music will ever be supported using Alexa or you have any idea how can I make them work together?

Thanks,

Have you heard the news?
Apple Music is coming to the Echo Dec. 17th!

Would we be able to play our uploaded music playlists via alexa?

It’s live now, just enabled the Apple Music skill, not great pretty basic but it’s a start.

Is it just in Settings>Music Services in the Alexa App where you can add it?

Or do you have to search for a specific skill?

Hope it is in the UK too, as I know how good Amazon are at announcing new features only to find out it is only in the US.

Yes, it's just in the Settings. You just add the music service and set as default if you want.

It works but its not picking up my playlists well..

For one unlike other music services one can’t see any music or playlists, only previously played in Alexia app, speech commands only other than previously played, no advanced Apple Music commands or searches like with Siri, but hey it’s version one. I might still use Bluetooth when I want to jump around in music and not wanting to use voice commands every time

In the US you go to setting>music>Apple music and select,
it takes you to the skill and enable.

Ahhh crap... reports are saying US only

Hope they add the other regions with Alexa and Apple Music ASAP.

Yeah, like the Echo Auto that was "Coming later this year"! Ummm lil more than just 2 weeks left Amazon. Where is it?

 

[shankar2]

Yeah this amazon echo with Apple Music is only valid for US Apple Music accounts and us location for now.. wonder when they will roll it for other nations?

Secondly I doubt you can play playlists of your own uploaded songs which sucks.

I live in the USA with a US Apple Music subscription but its saying Apple Music is not available in my region?!

Have you updated the Amazon Alexa App? Also try rebooting/restarting everything

 

[MrMoris]

Does anyone know how can I skip this and make it work not in the United States? I was happy to finally hear I can leave Spotify but got dissapointed again... Just amazing

 

[chublet]

Cant believe it doesn't work in the UK - I mean, what can possible be the reason for it?
