If your Apple Music subscription is sold out, here's good news: Starting today, you'll be able to stream Amazon Music on Apple TV and Apple TV 4K.
Subscribers will be able to listen to the 40 million songs available through Amazon's service and access their favorite artists, playlists and music, according to the Amazon blog.
The arrival of this app isn't surprising if Apple Music was released on Fire TV last March, but it shows that the two conflicting companies are now more eager to work together.
The other less obvious benefit of allowing Amazon Music on Apple's App Store is that it increases competition between streaming apps, especially with Apple's Apple Music service.
Why would Apple want to increase competition for its own service?
Spotify recently said that Apple's ownership of both the platform and its own service was classic anti-competitive behavior, prompting the US government to investigate the situation.
Now that Amazon Music is integrated, Apple can now claim that it has competitive music streaming services on Apple TV, strengthening its defense if the investigation proceeds further.
With that said, if you are more interested in streaming your Amazon Music library than through Apple's schemes, you can download the Amazon Music app from the Apple TV App Store starting today. in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and Brazil. , Canada, France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Mexico, Japan and India.
