How to Play Apple Music on Vizio TV Without a Hassle

Part 1. Does Vizio TV Have the Apple Music App?

Unlike platforms like LG, Samsung, or even Roku, Vizio Smart TVs do not have a native Apple Music app available for direct download. However, that doesn't mean you're completely out of luck. You can still play Apple Music on your Vizio TV using alternative methods below:

1. USB Flash Drive: You can use a third-party tool, like DRmare Apple Music Converter to convert Apple Music to Vizio-compatible audio files and transfer them to USB flash drive. After that, you can get Apple Music on Vizio Smart TV via the built-in USB port.

2. AirPlay (available on newer Vizio models): Stream Apple Music from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac directly to your Vizio TV.

3. Chromecast (built into most Vizio SmartCast TVs): Cast Apple Music from Android devices or from the Chrome browser on a computer.

4. Streaming Devices: Use an Apple TV 4K that supports the Apple Music app to access your music library from your mobile devices or computers.
