Apple TV getting Siri support for Apple Music next year

PanARMENIAN.Net - Apple is working to extend Siri search capabilities to Apple Music on the new Apple TV, which starts shipping to consumers Friday, October 30, VentureBeat reports citing BuzzFeed, which says Apple has confirmed the news. BuzzFeed reached out to Apple for comment.

The extension of Siri search to Apple’s music service would take the Apple TV one step closer to truly becoming the connected hub of consumers’ living rooms — already offering video gaming and movies. At this stage, music appears to be the remaining piece of the puzzle.

As Buzzfeed notes, the move will essentially turn the Apple TV into a “voice-controlled music player.” It will also make the music-streaming service a more compelling offering. Currently, 6.5 million Apple Music users are paying subscribers, with 8.5 million still on a free trial.

Earlier this week, some users started noticing that Siri is refusing to answer basic music queries — such as checking what songs are trending in the charts — for those not subscribed to Apple Music.
