Why Can’t We Play Apple Music on PS4?

Before moving on to the two techniques, we must determine why the PS4 cannot play Apple Music.

This is because Playstation 4 only supports the music formats MP3, AAC, FLAC, and M4A. However, every music you download from Apple Music is encoded in the secured M4P format. This means you won’t be able to use it the way you would with PS4’s standard files.

As a result, you can either convert Apple Music to regular audio or use DLNA to play Apple Music on a PS4. It is more typical to convert Apple Music music from protected M4P to MP3 or AAC files using third-party Apple Music conversion programs.

Here is a guide on how to apply the converting technique for Apple Music on PS4.
