Part 1. Can We Stream Apple Music on PS4?

Most of us know that Apple Music is a music streaming service that was developed by Apple Music. It offers a wide collection of songs from almost all artists around the world that’s why many music lovers want to use and subscribe to this App.

However, for you to access its music catalog, you have to subscribe to its plans according to your preference. Once you have subscribed, you can freely download Apple Music songs freely and listen to them offline.

However, we also know that Apple Music is exclusive only to the devices that it supported, mostly Apple devices such as iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac, etc, or other devices such as Amazon Echo device, Sonos, and some Android devices.

Unfortunately, PS4 is still not included on the list that’s why you can’t directly stream Apple Music on PS4. Apple Music songs have this special format specifically protected with DRM that makes it difficult to play on other devices.

But this doesn’t mean that you can’t stream the songs on Apple Music on your PS4. There are two ways actually how you can stream Apple Music on PS4 which we will further discuss in the next part of this post.

Part 2. Stream Apple Music on PS4 from USB Drive

One way to stream Apple Music on PS4 is with the use of your USB drive. However, as we talked about earlier, you can’t directly download Apple Music songs to your USB because of the DRM protection encrypted on each song.

Therefore, for you to have your downloaded Apple Music tracks, first you need to convert those tracks to a most compatible audio format like MP3, transfer them to your USB drive so you and then connect them on your PS4 port so you can enjoy streaming Apple Music on PS4 while playing. So, what is the best tool to use for converting your Apple Music? I couldn’t think of anything else but TunesFun Apple Music Converter.

TunesFun Apple Music Converter is a specialized tool that can download and remove the DRM protection encrypted on Apple Music songs. It is also a converter that can change the Apple Music’s audio format to a most compatible format such as AAC, AC3, FLAC, MP3, M4A, or WAV which can be played on any device.

Connect your USB drive on your computer, then open the folder where your converted songs were saved, and copy and paste the tracks on your USB drive. Safely remove your USD drive and connect it to your PS4 port.

Your PS4 will instantly detect your USB and a window will pop up, then you will be asked for the USB Media Player option.

Part 3. Stream Apple Music on PS4 from DLNA Media Server

Aside from using the USB drive, you can also stream Apple Music on PS4 using the DLNA Media server. DLNA serves as a local network that can connect and helps multimedia devices to communicate.

In this way, local video, pictures, and audio can be streamed to each other because of a common network. If you want to try this method, then follow the steps that I provided below to get it done.

  1. Launch your iPhone and go to your App Store, then download and install the DLNA application on your phone.
  2. Next, using the Media Player app on your PS4, choose the DLNA server that is available on your iPhone. See to it that both your PS4 and iPhone are connected to a similar WIFI connection to make this work.
  3. Once the DNLA server of your iPhone and PS4 got synced, you can now start stream Apple Music on PS4 with ease.

DLNA Media Server allows you to stream Apple Music songs online. However, if you haven’t downloaded the Apple Music songs and you have a poor internet connection, then you might experience some buffering or the playback will be interrupted which can give you a bad music experience. So, make sure you have a strong internet connection.

Part 4. Summary

After reading this post, you can now finally stream Apple Music on PS4. But among the two ways, I would still recommend you to use TunesFun Apple Music Converter because once you have downloaded and converted your Apple Music tracks, you don’t need to worry about your subscription and also, your internet connection. You can play them for as long as you want without interruption and keep them forever.

Well, that’s everything for now. I hope that this post served its purpose so you can finally play and listen to your favorite Apple Music tracks while playing or just chilling using your PS4. Thank you and see you again on my other posts.
