How to Play Apple Music on HEOS Devices

Does HEOS support Apple Music? Unfortunately, there is no HEOS Apple Music integration. HEOS is a wireless multi-room audio system developed by Denon. It allows you to wirelessly stream music from a variety of sources to multiple HEOS-enabled speakers throughout your home. With the HEOS app, you can listen to a range of streaming services directly on your HEOS speakers, including Deezer, Spotify, SoundCloud, Tidal, and more. But currently, Apple Music is not available as a music service through the HEOS app. That's why we are here. Today we will share you with some simple ways to play Apple Music on HEOS devices.
