Unlike other smart speakers like Google Nest, Amazon Echo, Sonos, products from JBL and others, Apple HomePod does not come with Bluetooth functionality. You can’t just connect your Android or iPhone to the HomePod and play your favorite songs on the go. You’ll need to use the AirPlay function to play your favorite playlists from Spotify, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music. Speaking of the latter, here’s how you can play songs from Amazon Music on your Apple HomePod.
Amazon Music is part of an Amazon Prime subscription that millions of people worldwide use to take advantage of its delivery benefits, Prime Video, etc. You’ll need to use an AirPlay-enabled device such as an iPhone, iPad, or Mac to stream Amazon Music songs on Apple HomePod. You can’t use an Android or Windows PC to play Amazon Music on your HomePod.
Does Amazon Music support Siri on HomePod
In a surprising move, Apple has opened support for third-party music streaming apps on the HomePod. If the developer has implemented the relevant APIs for Siri on the HomePod, users can ask the voice assistant to play their favorite songs on the Apple smart speaker. Unfortunately, Amazon Music has yet to add Siri support. So you’ll need to use an iPhone, iPad, or Mac to start streaming.
Play Amazon Music on HomePod on iPhone
AirPlay is part of Apple iPhone, iPad and Mac for wireless content streaming. We’ll show you how to use them to stream your favorite Amazon Music playlists on the HomePod.
Step 1: Download and install Amazon Music from the App Store on your iPhone.
Step 2: Open the Amazon Music app and sign in with your Amazon account details.
Step 3: Play any song and open the track info menu.
Step 4: Tap the cast icon in the upper right corner.
Step 5: Select AirPlay and check supported devices from the pop-up menu.
Step 6: Select your HomePod in the ‘Speakers & TV’ menu and enjoy songs with a better audio experience.
You don’t have to go to Amazon Music and sort through your casting options to play songs on the HomePod. You can easily change it directly from the lock screen.
Step 1: Check the iOS music player on the lock screen.
Step 2: Tap the AirPlay icon in the lower right corner and select your HomePod from the following menu.
Stream Amazon Music on HomePod with iPad
In addition to your iPhone, you can use your iPad to control Amazon Music on your HomePod. Here’s what you need to do.
Step 1: Install Amazon Music on your iPad.
Step 2: Play any song and tap the familiar cast icon, then select AirPlay from the following menu.
Step 3: Select your HomePod device from the list and transfer music from your iPad to a nearby HomePod.
Similar to the iPhone, you can also output the speaker from the iPad’s lock screen.
Step 1: Press the power button to check the iPad lock screen.
Step 2: Tap the AirPlay icon and select the radio button next to HomePod.
Use a Mac to Play Amazon Music on HomePod
As we mentioned earlier, Android and Windows users are out of luck playing Amazon Music on the HomePod. But if you have a Mac, you can use the built-in AirPlay functionality to stream Amazon Music playlists on a nearby HomePod. Go through the steps below.
Since Amazon Music doesn’t have a native app on Mac, we’ll be using the web version in the screenshot below.
Step 1: Go to Amazon Music on your favorite web browser on your Mac.
Step 2: Sign in with your Amazon account details.
Step 3: Play a song you want and click the control center in the Mac menu bar.
Step 4: Click the AirPlay icon next to the Sound menu.
Step 5: Select your Apple HomePod from the following menu.
And Voila! You can now enjoy Amazon Music on your HomePod. While your MacBook’s speakers are among the best in the business, it doesn’t beat the sound quality of a dedicated HomePod.
Enjoy Amazon Music on HomePod
Don’t hold yourself back with Apple Music on HomePod. If you like Amazon Music, you can easily play it on your Apple smart speaker using your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. We expect to see Amazon Music integration with Siri on the HomePod. Asking Siri to start a playlist, play, pause, and skip Amazon Music songs on your Apple HomePod would be a lot of fun.
