“This seems to have some restrictions that prevent me from streaming Apple Music to my Roku. Can you help me to bypass these restrictions so that I can listen to Apple Music songs on Roku freely?”

Roku (Roku Streaming Player) is a video streaming and viewing platform that allows people to access CBS News, Netflix, ShowTime, Sling Television, Hulu, YouTube and more than 45,000 channels. In addition, Roku also supports many music services, including Amazon Music, Pandora, Spotify, iHeart Radio and Sirius XM. Well, as you can see, Apple Music, as the largest music streaming service, is not on the list. That's too regretful.

The music formats supported by Roku include MP3 and M4A, but since Apple Music is a subscription service, all songs are encoded in M4P format and protected by FairPlay DRM, which is not supported by Roku. How about converting Apple Music songs to common format supported by Roku? If you can, you are free to play music files on your local network via the free Roku media player channel and connect to a USB drive with USB Roku 3 or Roku 2XS. But how do you do that? In this article we will introduce you to the best solution – use a third-party tool to convert Apple Music into music files without DRM encryption, and then transfer the converted Apple Music tracks to a USB drive while maintaining the original sound quality.
