Part 1. Apple Music Supported Devices
You can enjoy Apple Music through the Apple Music app or by visiting music.apple.com. The app comes pre-installed on Apple devices, but if you've deleted it, you can easily redownload it from the App Store.
For Android users, the Apple Music app is available on the Google Play Store for phones and tablets. If you're using a Windows PC with version 19045.0 or later, you can download the Apple Music app directly from the Microsoft Store. For older Windows systems, you can still listen through iTunes.
Apple Music is also supported on many popular smart TVs, streaming devices, and gaming consoles like the PS5, just make sure they support the Apple Music app.
Part 2. Apple Music Unsupported Devices
If your device isn't listed above, it likely doesn't support the Apple Music app, which means you won't be able to install it or stream songs directly. This includes, but isn't limited to, the following:
iPod Nano, iPod Shuffle, and iPod Classic
Although these are Apple devices, they don't run on iOS, so the Apple Music app isn't available for them. As a result, you can't stream or play Apple Music on these iPods.
Other MP3 Players
Many people still use MP3 players like Sony Walkman, SanDisk, and Creative Zen, especially for workouts. However, these devices don't support Apple Music. Even if you download Apple Music songs for offline use, they're saved in DRM-protected M4P format, which isn't compatible with standard MP3 players.
Older Smartphones
Devices running Windows Phone, BlackBerry OS, or Symbian aren't supported by Apple Music either.
Amazon Devices (except Echo)
Amazon Fire Phone, Fire Tablet, and Fire TV use Fire OS, which does not support the Apple Music app.
