Apple Music Gaining Chromecast Support on Android

The latest beta version of Apple Music for Android includes Chromecast support, allowing users to stream songs and playlists from the service over Wi-Fi to Chromecast-enabled devices like the Google Home.

As noted by Android Police via AppleInsider, the cast icon will automatically appear on the now playing screen and elsewhere in the app if there is a compatible Chromecast-enabled speaker or TV connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the Android smartphone. Playback can still be controlled on the phone.

The latest beta of ‌Apple Music‌ for Android also provides access to over 100,000 broadcast radio stations from sources like TuneIn and iHeartRadio. And last month, in an earlier beta, the app gained a dark mode.

Android users can sign up for the beta via Google Play.

I guess it's good for Android users. Now, what about adding Chromecast support to the iPhone?

Smart. Remove any and all barriers to the success of your service. Probably should have been done when they intro'd Apple Music on Android. But hey, better late than never.

It's great to see Apple Music expanding!

I'd love to see a web player though! It would be great if there was music.apple.com or something similar where I could stream from a computer at work.

Once upon a time I’d have told you hell would freeze over first but considering it can be done with Amazon Echo devices, I’d wager this isn’t too far off.

In fact, didn’t Apple Music pop up as default music option in the Google Home app ‘accidentally’ ;) for a day last year?

As a mixed ecosystem household (Apple and Google), adding this function would finally get me to use Apple Music as our family’s music streaming service.
