Part 2. How to Stream Apple Music to Chromecast from iOS

If you are using an iPhone or iPad, you will find that playing Apple Music on Chromecast is a bit more complicated since there is no direct “Cast” button like on the Android version of the Apple Music app. To bridge the gap between iOS devices and Chromecast, you will need the help of some third-party mirroring or casting apps, which can grab the audio stream on your iPhone and redirect it to your Chromecast. However, most of these casting apps can only deal with your local audio playback. Thus, it’s necessary to download your Apple Music songs first.

Here, we recommend the TunesMake Streaming Audio Recorder to you. Adopting advanced technology, TunesMake Streaming Audio Recorder can help you remove DRM protection from Apple Music and convert any songs, playlists, albums, or podcasts to normal audio files. Depending on your needs, you can choose to save the Apple Music songs in diverse formats, including MP3, M4A, M4B, WAV, FLAC, and AIFF. What’s better, the TunesMake program smartly keeps original sound quality and ID3 tags to ensure your listening experience. Once converted, you can import these Apple Music downloads to your iPhone and use a casting app to stream them on Chromecast. Here are the detailed steps to do so:
