Part 1. What is SoundTouch?

We already know that SoundTouch is a music-streaming app, but it doesn’t really tell us much, does it? That’s why before we learn how to play Apple Music on SoundTouch, we’ll talk more about this particular pp.

SoundTouch: Basics

When SoundTouch is mentioned, it’s usually referring to the SoundTouch app. This app has the ability to control SoundTouch sound systems. The app can also be used to personalize the sound system such as changing the favorite station, songs, and likes.

The SoundTouch app also provides you a way to create a library where you can store your songs and access them easily in one place.

SoundTouch: Requirements

The SoundTouch app is available on most devices, be it a smartphone, tablet, laptop, etc. However, there is a certain requirement for using the SoundTouch app.

To access the features within SoundTouch, you have to have an active subscription on either Amazon Prime or Amazon Music Unlimited. However, you won’t need a subscription if you’re planning on connecting to your SoundTouch system without the app directly through a phone.

SoundTouch: Functions

SoundTouch has other features that we haven’t mentioned yet. Below is a list of features that SoundTouch offers to its users:

• Control your SoundTouch systems using your smartphone or tablet
• Browse radio stations from the internet and stream the stations
• Browse different platforms such as Spotify, Pandora, Deezer, etc.
• Play, pause or skip the song being played on the SoundTouch system
• Personalize your SoundTouch system
• Play music on multiple SoundTouch systems at the same time

SoundTouch: Compatibility

Fortunately, SoundTouch supports a good number of radio stations on the internet. This includes Spotify, Amazon Music, Deezer, iHeartRadio, and more. This is done through the TuneIn function. Each radio station will have its respective software updates.

Unfortunately, they do not support Apple Music. So how can you connect Apple Music to SoundTouch? We’ll get into that in a moment.

Part 2. How to Play Apple Music on SoundTouch?

Although there are many ways on how to play Apple Music on SoundTouch, we only recommend three methods. Let’s start with what we think is the easiest and simplest way to connect Apple Music to your SoundTouch systems. (And you can also listen to Apple Music songs on your MP3 player, we can give you the simplest method too.)

Solution 1. Using Bluetooth

Most SoundTouch systems support Bluetooth. That’s why your first option is to use Bluetooth to connect Apple Music to your SoundTouch system. Below are the steps on how to play Apple Music on SoundTouch:

2. Go to Menu.
3. Proceed to Settings > Speaker Settings. Now choose the name of the SoundTouch system that you want to play the music on.
4. Tap Bluetooth and select Pair.
5. Pair your smartphone with the SoundTouch system.

Once paired, you’ll be able to play Apple Music on SoundTouch systems anytime you want, as long as the two devices are near each other.

Solution 2. Using AirPlay

Unfortunately, Bluetooth has a problem where the latency is too unstable so the sound that comes out of your sound systems is delayed.

As such, it’s not recommended if you’re doing it professionally, hence our next option, AirPlay. Below are the steps on how to play Apple Music on SoundTouch through AirPlay:

1. On your device, open the Settings app.
2. Now head to AirPlay. This is a setting available on iOS devices.
3. You will see all devices connected to your network. If you can’t see the SoundTouch speaker, connect the speaker to your network first.
4. Now select the SoundTouch speaker from the list of devices using your iOS device.

Solution 3. Convert and Download Apple Music with A Powerful Software

Although SoundTouch is capable of playing Apple Music, there are still restrictions that it adheres to, and that would be DRM protection. Unfortunately, you can’t easily access Apple Music through SoundTouch because of DRM, unless you use powerful software.
