Amazon to Allow Apple Music on its Echo Speakers
Amazon.com said on Friday Apple Music will become available on its Echo smart speakers starting Dec. 17.
Apple Music subscribers who own Echo devices will be able to listen to Apple's library of 50 million songs, Amazon said.
Amazon customers will be able to ask Alexa to play their favorite songs, artists, and albums—or any of the playlists made by Apple Music’s editors from around the world, covering many activities and moods. Customers will also be able to ask Alexa to stream expert-made radio stations centered on genres like Hip-Hop, decades like the 80s, and even music from around the world, like K-Pop.
Earlier this month, Amazon said it would carry more Apple products globally in time for the holiday shopping season.
Amazon had said it would sell the latest editions of Apple’s iPhone, iPad and other devices in the United States, Europe, Japan and India in coming weeks.
Apple also has a HomePod smart speaker, which uses the Siri voice assistant.
