You can add the Apple Music app by using voice control by pressing the voice button and saying “Apple Music”. It will go directly to the download page.
Apple Music doesn’t provide a free tier. If you are curious to try Apple Music then sign up for their one-month free trial. Their subscription starts at $9.99 per month. If you are already a subscriber then you can directly sign in by entering your Apple ID and Password using your Roku remote. However, the current scenario of Apple Music on Roku doesn’t offer support for the Spatial audio feature. The user can’t enjoy spatial audio on tv speakers so it’s not a huge loss but for those who have a well-equipped speaker system absence of spatial audio will be a huge missing. We hope Apple will update the channel with useful features like other devices.
