Bluesound Adds Native Support for Apple Music

Bluesound has announced the integration of native Apple Music support in its high-end audio devices. This means that Apple Music subscribers can directly enjoy their music on Bluesound speakers and audio equipment without needing to send audio through AirPlay 2. This functionality is activated through the BluOS Controller app, where users can log in and access their Apple Music library.

Why it matters

This new integration is significant for users looking for a smoother and higher-quality audio experience. By allowing the speaker to manage the music streaming directly, it frees the mobile device from the burden of handling the audio, which can result in more stable performance and less battery consumption.

What we know

Bluesound products use the BluOS platform, which allows users to control music and link audio equipment across multiple rooms. This means users can play music across grouped devices in their homes, creating an immersive and coordinated sound experience.

What is still unclear

It has not yet been detailed whether this integration will include advanced features such as shared playlist support or personalized recommendations within the BluOS app. Additionally, there are no specifications on whether future updates will expand the capabilities of this new feature.
