How to Play Apple Music on HEOS Devices

In the ever-evolving world of music streaming, Apple Music has undoubtedly carved a niche for itself, captivating millions of listeners with its extensive library and seamless integration with Apple devices. However, what if you want to enjoy the rich tapestry of Apple Music beyond the confines of Apple's ecosystem? That's where HEOS comes into play. But the question remains: Does HEOS support Apple Music integration?

The answer, unfortunately, is no - at least not directly. HEOS, developed by renowned audio brand Denon, allows you to wirelessly stream a diverse range of music services, including Deezer, Spotify, SoundCloud, Tidal, and more, to multiple HEOS-enabled speakers throughout your abode. Alas, Apple Music is not currently available as a native music service through the HEOS app.

Fear not, music enthusiasts! We have curated a guide to help you seamlessly play Apple Music on HEOS devices, ensuring that your beloved tunes resonate throughout your living spaces with exceptional clarity and richness.

Part 1. Three Ways to Play Apple Music on HEOS Devices

Apple Music may not be a native service on HEOS speakers, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy your favourite tracks on this premium audio system. We've compiled three distinct methods to help you stream your Apple Music library wirelessly throughout your home, ensuring an unparalleled listening experience that transcends the boundaries of a single device or platform.

Way 1. How to Use Apple Music on HEOS Devices via Bluetooth

One of the most convenient ways to stream Apple Music on your HEOS devices is via Bluetooth connectivity. If you have a mobile device running Bluetooth and a Bluetooth-enabled HEOS product, you can effortlessly listen to your Apple Music library on your HEOS speakers.

• Step 1:Turn on Bluetooth pairing mode on your HEOS speaker.

  For the HEOS HS1 device, click on the 'Reset' button, insert the USB Bluetooth adapter into the 'USB port' on the back of your device, and then click on the 'Connect' button until the front LED flashes green.

  

  For the HEOS HS2 device, simply click on the 'Bluetooth' button.

  

• Step 2:On your mobile device, navigate to 'Settings' and turn on 'Bluetooth'.

  

• Step 3:In the list of available devices, tap on your HEOS speaker and pair it.

• Step 4:Open the Apple Music app and start playing a song. It will be streamed to your HEOS device via Bluetooth.

Way 2. How to Play Apple Music on HEOS Speakers by AirPlay

If your device is AirPlay-enabled, you can also leverage this technology to integrate Apple Music with your HEOS speakers.

• Step 1:Ensure that your mobile device and HEOS speaker are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

• Step 2:On your mobile device, open the Apple Music app and start playing a song, playlist, or album.

• Step 3:Tap on the 'AirPlay' icon at the bottom of the screen.

  

• Step 4:From the list of available devices, select your HEOS speaker and Apple Music will be streamed to it.

Way 3. How to Play Apple Music on HEOS Speakers by USB Drive

The above two methods require you to have Bluetooth or AirPlay-enabled HEOS speakers. But what if your HEOS speakers don't support these technologies? This is where a USB drive comes into play, allowing you to transfer compatible Apple Music files to your HEOS speaker for uninterrupted playback.
