“When I plugged the USB drive into a fantastic Samsung QLED TV and wanted to play the downloaded Apple music song, I was told that the music file could not be recognized. How can I stream Apple Music to Samsung TV?”

As one of the world's leading TV manufacturers, Samsung TV aims to enhance the user experience by adding special features such as surround sound and compatibility with streaming services. Samsung TV not only allows users to watch streaming videos from Netflix, YouTube, etc., but also directly accesses popular music streaming services such as Spotify, Google Play Music, Pandora and your local music files. Obviously, Apple music is not in it. Why? Even though you have downloaded Apple Music tracks, playlists, albums and saved them to your USB drive, you can't play them on Samsung Smart TV since Apple Music songs are in DRM-protected M4P format. Subscribers can only listen to Apple Music songs on Apple's products, like iTunes, Apple TV, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, etc. Worst of all, once you unsubscribe the service, you won't be able to access the songs you downloaded before, as they will disappear automatically from your library. Therefore, before you can enjoy Samsung Smart TV, you need to delete Apple Music DRM first.

Tool You’ll Need for Streaming Apple Music to Samsung Smart TV

To transfer Apple Music songs to Samsung TV and Android TV, all you'll need is a third-party DRM removal software for Apple Music which can bypass the DRM protection for good. It is recommended to use UkeySoft Apple Music Converter, which can delete DRM from Apple Music, protected iTunes songs, Audible audiobooks, iTunes audiobooks, music videos, etc., and convert encrypted songs from .m4p to .mp3, .aac, .wav, .m4b, .m4a and .flac. Besides, it helps you convert any Apple Music M4P songs into mp3 with 100% original quality in batch and all ID3 tags preserved.

Step 3. Choose Output Format

Here you can choose output format from MP3, M4A, AAC, FLAC, M4R and MKA. Customize output song bitrate, sample rate as you like. If you don't do anything, MP3 is the default output format.

Step 5. Transfer Apple Music to Samsung TV for Playback via USB

You can transfer the converted Apple Music to a USB drive. Simply plug the USB drive into the Samsung Smart TV via the USB cable. Then start navigating Apple Music and select a music player to play on Samsung TV. Or you can upload the converted Apple Music song to Google Play Music on your PC or Mac first, so you can play Apple Music directly on Samsung TV.

Step 1. Plug in your USB drive containing Apple Music files to the USB port of your Samsung smart TV.
Step 2. In Samsung remote control, please hit on the Home button to enter to the home screen of Samsung TV.
