Amazon Music appears on Apple TV in Australia

Australians can now access Amazon Music on Apple TV as part of a limited global rollout.

The new service is also available in the US, UK, New Zealand, Brazil, Canada, France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Mexico, Japan and India.

Customers can download the app from the App Store for Apple TV 4K and Apple TV HD, and buy/import music in its 40-million-song library, and follow along with scrolling lyrics within the app.

“We believe that listeners should be able to stream music simply and easily on any device they choose,” said Karolina Joynathsing, director of business development for Amazon Music.

“With that in mind, our aim has been to bring listeners more ways to enjoy their favourite music.

“We’re thrilled to bring the Amazon Music app to Apple TV customers across the globe.”

The Amazon move closely follows Spotify which last week revealed it would also be on Apple TV.

Amazon Music runs separately from Prime Music.

Amazon Music Unlimited arrived in Australia recently, claiming 50 million tracks, and costing $11.99 per month for an Individual Plan (one account) and $17.99 per month for a Family Plan (six accounts).
