Instead, you’ll be offered the same catalog as Amazon Music Unlimited subscribers. At the moment, the Apple TV app doesn’t support either of these higher-quality formats. Unfortunately, subscribers to Amazon’s new Amazon Music HD tier of service won’t be able to stream the CD and hi-res versions that they’re entitled to. But perhaps the best feature, given that this on a TV, of course, is the scrolling lyrics option - perfect for an impromptu karaoke session, or just practicing for the next time your friends come over. You can also play content from your My Music personal library.
The Amazon Music app will give you access to the full library of millions of songs, plus albums, artists, and playlists. Using a browser on another device, go to and enter that code when asked. On launching the app, it will display a six-letter pairing code. Once the app is downloaded, you need to activate your Apple TV as a recognized device with Amazon. If you live in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, Canada, France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Mexico, Japan, or India, all you need is a Prime Music or an Amazon Music Unlimited account to start streaming. Starting Thursday, October 10, you can download the Amazon Music app from the App Store for Apple TV - it’s compatible with Apple TV 4K and Apple TV HD running tvOS 12.0 and later. Perhaps that’s in part why Amazon chose to launch its first music app for Apple TV. Listening to music on your TV? Why not? According to a recent survey by YouGov, more than 40% of people who own a smart TV want to use it to listen to music.
