Connecting your music library to your television should be simple. However, if you own a Hisense TV, you have likely realized it is a bit more complicated than expected, especially for getting Apple Music on Hisense TV. Unlike brands that stick to one software, Hisense utilizes four different operating systems depending on your model and region. You can't even find the "Apple Music" icon on many Hisense smart TVs.
The good news? Even without a built-in app, there are several official and effective methods to play Apple Music on Hisense TVs, whether your model runs VIDAA, Roku, Google TV, Fire TV, or Android TV. This guide explains all options step-by-step.

Part 1. Can You Play Apple Music on Hisense TV?
Hisense Smart TVs are known for their cost-effective performance and diverse offerings, including 4K, Full HD, and HD resolutions. They also feature built-in speakers designed to deliver high sound quality for an optimal viewing and listening experience.

However, the ability to play Apple Music directly depends on the TV's operating system (OS), such as VIDAA, Roku TV, or Google/Android TV. Native Apple Music app availability is limited to specific platforms, meaning many Hisense models require users to rely on casting, screen mirroring (like AirPlay), or converting Apple Music files to MP3, FLAC, etc., for local playback. Here is the compatibility overview to see how to play Apple Music playlists on a larger screen.
| Hisense OS / Model Type | Apple Music App Available? | Best Playback Method |
|---|---|---|
| Google TV / Android TV | ✘ No | AirPlay, casting, or offline playback via USB |
| Roku Hisense TVs | ✔ Yes | Install Apple Music from the Roku Channel Store |
| Fire TV (selected regions) | ✘ No | Use the Apple Music skill for Alexa |
| VIDAA U / U6 | ✘ No | AirPlay, casting, or offline playback via USB |
| Xumo TV | ✘ No | AirPlay, casting, or offline playback via USB |
| Older Hisense models | ✘ No | Mirroring apps or offline playback via USB |
Tips:
If you choose to use offline playback via a USB drive, you must first download your Apple Music library as common local files through DRmare Apple Music Converter. After conversion, you can simply transfer the files to a USB flash drive, insert the drive into your Hisense TV's USB port, and play them on any Hisense TV via the media player.
Part 2. How to Get Apple Music on Hisense Roku & Google/Android TV Models
If your Hisense TV runs on Roku TV, you have the best experience available. These platforms support the official, fully-featured Apple Music app. This means you get the visual interface, time-synced lyrics, and access to your full library directly on the big screen. Here, let's see how to download and use Apple Music app on your Hisense smart TV:
How to Install Apple Music App on Hisense Roku TV
Step 1. Press the "Home" button on your Roku remote to reach the main dashboard.
Step 2. Scroll down the left-hand menu and select "Streaming Channels" to open the Channel Store.
Step 3. Select "Search Channels" and type "Apple Music" using the on-screen keyboard.
Step 4. Navigate to the app icon, which looks like a musical note with a reddish-pink background, and select "Add Channel".

Step 6.Now you can browse your Apple Music library and choose any favorite song to play on your Hisense TV.
Part 3. How to Stream Apple Music to Hisense VIDAA/Xumo/Google/Android & Fire TV
If you have a VIDAA, Google TV, Android TV, Fire TV, or Xumo model, you face a limitation: there is currently no native Apple Music app available in their respective app stores that offers a full visual interface. However, you can still listen to high-quality audio using the following workarounds.
Play Apple Music on VIDAA/Xumo/Google/Android TVs via AirPlay 2
Many newer Hisense TVs running VIDAA (specifically the U6, U7, and U8 series from 2022 onwards), Google TV, Android TV, and Xumo have Apple AirPlay 2 built in. This allows you to cast audio from your iPhone or iPad directly to the Hisense TV without needing an app. Here we go:
Step 1. Ensure your iPhone/iPad and your Hisense TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
Step 2. On your Hisense TV, go to "Settings" and look for "AirPlay & HomeKit Settings". Enter this menu and ensure AirPlay is toggled to On.

Step 3. Open the Apple Music app on your iPhone and start playing a track. Tap the "AirPlay" icon at the bottom of the playback screen.
Step 4. Select your Hisense TV from the list of devices. Your music will now beam to the TV speakers, and you can control volume via your phone.

Play Apple Music on Hisense Fire TV Models via Alexa Voice
While Hisense Fire TVs also lack a visual Apple Music app, they have deep integration with Alexa. You can link your account to play Apple Music via the Alexa skill using voice commands.
Step 1. Open the "Alexa" App on your smartphone (iOS or Android).
Step 2. Go to "More" > "Music & More" "Settings" > "Music & Podcasts".
Step 3. Select "Link New Service", choose Apple Music, and sign in with your Apple ID.

Step 4. Grab your Hisense remote, press and hold the Microphone button, and say a command, such as "Alexa, play my Chill Mix on Apple Music."
Part 4. How to Play Apple Music on All Hisense TVs Offline via USB Port
To guarantee listening access across all Hisense Smart TV models, the most reliable approach is playing Apple Music offline via a USB flash drive. This method bypasses operating system restrictions and ensures the best sound quality, allowing you to experience your Apple Music tracks in their original high fidelity.
Since Apple Music tracks are protected, they must first be converted into common local files. You can use DRmare Apple Music Converter to finish this task.

With these files successfully converted, you can easily transfer them to a USB drive for guaranteed compatibility on any Hisense Smart TV.
Now, let's proceed to the simple four-step process for converting and importing Apple Music to your Hisense TV.
