'Play Apple Music on Soundtouch - I have the Bose Soundtouch 30 series 3 and would like to play Apple music through Bose SoundTouch but found no access to Apple music on SoundTouch speakers and app. What should I do to play Apple music on Bose SoundTouch? Can you sync iTunes music library to Bose SoundTouch and enjoy iTunes music in multiroom through Bose SoundTouch device?'
As a top popular home speaker, SoundTouch speaker gives users wireless access to popular music services like Spotify, Deezer, Amazon, Internet radio or your stored music library and enjoy these music in multiple rooms in your house. However, there is a disappointment of Bose SoundTouch – it doesn't support Apple music playback directly. You couldn't stream Apple music onto Bose Sound directly. Therefore, today we have listed several effective solutions in this guide to help you play Apple music on Bose SoundTouch speakers.
Part 1: Brief Introduction to Bose SoundTouch
Bose SoundTouch is a combination of hardware and software aimed at making the easiest, most seamless wireless music system ever for home digital entertainment. SoundTouch works over Wi-Fi integrated directly into Bose hardware. You could use SoundTouch speaker to wireless access to popular music services like Spotify, Deezer, Amazon, Internet radio or your stored music library on your computer or phones and enjoy these music in multiple rooms in your house.
Unlike some competing products like Sonos, all of Bose's SoundTouch hardware will also be AirPlay compatible. Both the SoundLink software and hardware are based around a six station preset list that works exactly like the one in your car. Therefore, listening to music is as easy as just pressing one of the six numbered buttons in either the app or on the hardware. You can simply press the number 3 and it'll launch your Kenny G Pandora station. There's no need to fire up an app at all.
The SoundTouch app is simple to navigate, and changing the presets works exactly the way it does in your car. Bose's big gamble here is that the simplicity of the one-touch, six-preset system is going to win over a lot of technophobic clients who are turned off by the prospect of using apps as a matter of everyday music listening.
Part 2: Why Can't We Play Apple Music Directly on Bose SoundTouch
