Experience your favorite music from one or many SoundTouch® speakers, with the SoundTouch® app. SoundTouch® is a family of wireless speakers for your home that play the same music throughout, or different music in different rooms.

The below steps would show you how to add Apple music to Bose SoundTouch speakers over Bluetooth. Open the SoundTouch app and then open 'Menu' at the top left corner.

As a top popular home speaker, SoundTouch speaker gives users wireless access to popular music services like Spotify, Deezer, Amazon, Internet radio or your stored music library and enjoy these music in multiple rooms in your house. However, there is a disappointment of Bose SoundTouch – it doesn't support Apple music playback directly. You couldn't stream Apple music onto Bose Sound directly. Therefore, today we have listed several effective solutions in this guide to help you play Apple music on Bose SoundTouch speakers.

Part 1: Brief Introduction to Bose SoundTouch

Bose SoundTouch is a combination of hardware and software aimed at making the easiest, most seamless wireless music system ever for home digital entertainment. SoundTouch works over Wi-Fi integrated directly into Bose hardware. You could use SoundTouch speaker to wireless access to popular music services like Spotify, Deezer, Amazon, Internet radio or your stored music library on your computer or phones and enjoy these music in multiple rooms in your house.

Unlike some competing products like Sonos, all of Bose's SoundTouch hardware will also be AirPlay compatible. Both the SoundLink software and hardware are based around a six station preset list that works exactly like the one in your car. Therefore, listening to music is as easy as just pressing one of the six numbered buttons in either the app or on the hardware. You can simply press the number 3 and it'll launch your Kenny G Pandora station. There's no need to fire up an app at all.

The SoundTouch app is simple to navigate, and changing the presets works exactly the way it does in your car. Bose's big gamble here is that the simplicity of the one-touch, six-preset system is going to win over a lot of technophobic clients who are turned off by the prospect of using apps as a matter of everyday music listening.

Part 2: Why Can't We Play Apple Music Directly on Bose SoundTouch

As known to all, Apple has applied FairPlay as DRM (digital rights management system) to protect all its content on iTunes Store being used on non-Apple devices. FairPlay is a digital rights management (DRM) technology developed by Apple Inc. It is built into the MP4 multimedia file format as an encrypted AAC audio layer, and is used by the company to protect copyrighted works sold through iTunes Store, allowing only authorized devices to play the content.

Therefore, when you have purchased music from iTunes Store, you could actually play back these iTunes music on Apple devices and players like iTunes, iPhone, iPad, iPod, etc. If you want to play Apple music on other devices, say Android devices like Galaxy smartphone, you have to firstly remove the DRM protection from purchased Apple music and then convert Apple music to DRM-free music files.
