Ways to Play Apple Music on Xbox One
Xbox One not only inherits the advantages of Microsoft's previous-generation console Xbox360 but also has significant improvements in appearance, controller, performance and other aspects. Many users take Xbox One as something different, which is more than a normal game console, what they really want is to play Apple Music on Xbox One. As we know, Apple Music has encrypted its tracks and almost all the Apple Music tracks are in M4P format now and Apple Music does not support Xbox One. Therefore, when Xbox One was first launched, there was no way to play Apple Music on Xbox One. But as time goes by, the appearance of some third-party plug-ins made this idea the reality, even though some of the ways are cumbersome.
To play Apple Music on Xbox One, a common method is to use AirServer. AirServer can transform your Xbox One into an all-in-one AirPlay + Google Cast + Miracast receiver. Xbox One users can now purchase AirServer from the Microsoft Store for $19.99, it also offers a free trial.
First Step: Run AirServer after you get AirServer Xbox Edition (free trial or full version) from the Microsoft Store. Hit "Right" key and then the "A" key of the Xbox One controller to display an on-screen QR code
Second Step: You will need to use an iOS device to set up the AirServer Connect now, an iPhone or iPad would be fine or other compatible devices running iOS 4.3 or later. Install "AirServer Connect" from App Store and then launch it.
Third Step: Select "Scan QR Code" and start to scan the QR code you just displayed on your Xbox One, please note that you will need to allow camera access. Soon your iPhone/iPad will be connected to your Xbox One successfully.
Fourth Step: Launch Apple Music on your iOS device and play any song, press the AirPlay icon at the bottom and select "XboxOne 1080p 30" to establish the connection. After that, your Apple Music songs can be played on Xbox One.
Well, if you choose to play Apple Music in this way, an iOS device, a good internet connection and a subscription to Apple Music are required.
