Whether a single person or multiple people are using a Google Nest or Home speaker or display, each person can link a single account only per streaming service. Learn how to link your music services and set your default service. Both products are very smart speakers that offer various functions. Still, the HomePod wins on sound, while the Home Max lets you use more streaming services and devices. You can also ask for any specific song or artists on Apple Music, as well as music by genre, mood or activity. If you own more than one Google Assistant-enabled smart speaker or display, you can use Google's multiroom audio to add speakers and move music around your home.

Sure, this isn’t the most scientific test ever devised but it does highlight how at higher volumes the microphones on the speaker have a hard time picking up voices. I did have some issues with the speaker hearing me when I spoke to it while music was playing, but I’ll get into that later. If you have a Google Chromecast, getting anything to play on your TV is seamless.

Never miss a beat: Apple Music is now available on the new Nest Audio

While it’s still on the pricey side you get Bluetooth functionality as well as the entire Sonos ecosystem behind to build upon. The Google Home speakers light up to show when they’re listening, but sometimes they might be triggered on accidentally by something that sounds similar to the hotword. If you’re like me and need to be reminded of basic facts throughout the day, the Google Assistant still gives the best answers out of any personal assistant and it’s only getting better with time. Now you may know how to play Apple Music on Google Home.

Now here's the simple guide on how to stream converted Apple Music songs to Google Home or Google Home mini for playback with voice commands. Pandora was one of the first music streaming services offering custom-crafted radio stations but has since evolved into an on-demand service similar to Spotify. If Apple Music is set as your default music service, select another music service as your default, or select "No default." Then tap Unlink under Apple Music. The excellent sound quality of the Apple speaker and the ability to play various audio file formats will make music fans very satisfied. Along with this, highlights the compact design that decided to give Apple to your smart speaker, so it can be easily placed and adapted to different decorations in the house.

You need a workaround to get Apple Music on Google Home

There are a couple of ways to listen to music using YouTube Music. Google Home is a brilliant and popular smart speaker developed by Google. With built-in voice-controlled assistance, it enables us to enjoy many conveniences in daily life. Playing music, making calls, reading news and many life trivia now are able to be controlled by one voice command. Sound quality is where the Google Home Max sets itself apart.

Can you ask your Nest to play music that you upload with iTunes Match? That would be a killer feature for me, as it's not easy to upload music to Youtube Music. You can also say "this album" or "this artist" instead of "this playlist." You can also use an artist or playlist name instead of an album name. Besides, in the converted files, you can find the full ID3 tags like the artist, title, album, and many others, fulfilling the desire of keeping and managing the complete music info.

That’s been slowly getting better , but that’s not an issue at all with the Google Home Max. It only comes with one cable and that’s the power supply. Setting it up is as easy as plugging it in and opening up the Google Home app.

Now you can begin to ask Google Home play the Apple Music you just uploaded to Google Play account with voice commands, like "Play ," Play by ," etc. Here's how to figure out which plans will give you the best music experience on your Google Home or Google Nest smart speaker, as well as how to set them up so they work seamlessly. If you don't want to switch back and forth between Apple Music and Google Play Music, there's no officially sanctioned way to move your Apple Music library. Some online conversion tools claim to offer a workaround, converting Apple Music files to a format you can upload to Google Play. If you like Apple Music but prefer using an Android device to stream music, consider downloading the Apple Music app for Android.

Please make sure that both of them are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Then link your Google Play Music premium account to Google Home and press OK. After your phone or tablet is successfully paired to Google Home, you can launch the Apple Music app on your mobile device and start to play the Apple Music songs on Google Home. Just use the basic voice command like "Hey Google, play Apple Music." The easiest way to play Apple Music on your Google Home is to stream Apple Music songs from your mobile devices to Google Home by Bluetooth.

It’s hard to recommend a smart speaker over a dedicated home audio setup or any other Bluetooth speakers, but the Google Home Max has weaved its way into my life in a way other products haven’t. I admit, I’m already in the group of people that use a Google Home, but that’s mainly for setting alarms, timers, and asking it questions while I cook. With the Google Home Max I still do all of those things, but all while listening to music or podcasts. That said, if you can get one for cheap somewhere it’s worth considering.

If you don’t want to specify Apple Music every time you request a song, you can also set up Apple Music as your default Google Home music service. When you do that, all of your music requests will go through Apple Music by default. If you want music from another service, like YouTube Music or Spotify, you’ll have to specify that service when requesting music.

Listening to Steely Dan’s “Babylon Sisters” from the group’s Gaucho release, streamed via Tidal Hi-Fi in my home theater, I was impressed with the Max’s musicality. The laconic bass line that opens the track sounded satisfyingly fat, and the drummer’s rimshots cut through with authority. The vocals—especially the tight harmonies of the female backup singers—exhibited a thoroughly enjoyable presence, too.

Thank god that Apple Music has supported Google Home now.
