The Chromecast Audio dongle is supported by a number of music services and applications including Google Play Music, Spotify, Deezer, Pandora, iHeartRadio and etc. While Apple Music is missing from the lineup.

Since Apple Music was announced in 2015, and it has passed 2 years till now, Apple Music still does not support the Chromecast Audio device. This shouldn’t come as much of a surprise given Apple’s historic reluctance to work with competitors.

Although Apple Music is not supported, there is way to make it through. The post from DRM Wizard shows one's experience to get Apple Music streaming into a Chromecast Audio successfully, by not bearing or waiting.

To be honest, we have no rights to play iTunes music on Apple unauthorized devices, since all iTunes music are in M4P which DRM(Digital Rights Management) protected, making it can be played on Apple devices only. If you want to enjoy Apple music on Chromecast, you have to get rip of fairplay DRM protection at first. Fortunately, there are many DRM Audio Converter on the Internet to help us remove DRM protection from iTunes music. After that, you will be able to enjoy these music freely.

With the FairPlay DRM technology,Apple Music is not available channel in Chromecast. Therefore, if you want to stream Apple music to Chromecast, you can have a try of TunesKit Audio Converter.

Currently, Chromecast enables us get access to more than 30 million songs from music services like Pandora, Google Play Music, Spotify, and iHeartRadio, etc. However, Apple refused to support Google Cast ever since the release of the service due to the copyright protection.

In this case, you have to rely on some extra tools in order to sync Apple Music to Chromecast. Something called TunesKit Apple Music Converter might meet your needs as it will help you convert the Apple Music songs to Chromecast supported music format.

Not possible. Apple currently doesn't want to make Apple Music available to stream through the Chromecast device.

Actually there's a pretty simple way - you can cast any sound/visual from smartphone using Google Home.
At least it works on Android.

Though it is not allowed to play Apple Music to Chromecast, there is still a way to play Apple Music on Chromecast. You need to get the DRM-free Apple Music then you can play Apple Music on Chromecast. Here, I recommend TuneFab Apple Music Converter which is helpful with playing Apple Music on Chromecast.

There's a lot of incorrect information in the responses. I registered to post some easy instructions in case others have the same question and incorrectly assume that all the "no" answers mean you can't do it. You can. It's fairly easy. Alexander Kononenko had the right answer but didn't really tell people the necessary details.

In my case, I'm using the apple music app from an android phone. If you're using the apple music app from an apple phone, you can just cast to chromecast directly from the apple music app. The cast button is conspicuously absent from the Android version of Apple Music.

You can cast audio(or video) to a chromecast device from an android phone even if the android app doesn't directly support casting. You do it with an app called "Home" from Google.

Step 1. Run Home (aka Google Home). It's on the Play Store if you don't already have it installed, and it's free.
Step 2. Touch the "Account" button. On the main google Home screen, it's the bottom right button. The button looks kind of like a circle with a drawing of a person in it.
Step 3. Touch "Mirror Device" from the menu that came up after step 2
Step 4. Click "Cast Screen / Audio". It's the only button on the screen, so it's easy to find.
Step 4. Select your chromecast device. If the chromecast isn't listed, you might not be signed into your home's wifi. If you've got the device already setup in google home, it might be listed more than once. In my case, I'm casting to an Onkyo TX-RZ820 stereo with "Chromecast Built-In".
Step 5. Run the Apple Music app and play the song of your choice!

Actually, you can replace step 5 with anything you like. After steps 1-4, your phone will be using the chromecast for audio/video output from your phone. Any thing you play on your phone will also play on your chromecast. If you're playing video, you might need to tweak the settings on your phone so that the audio and video are in sync. You can google for how to do that separately.

Anyway.. as you can see, there's no hacks, third party apps, drm removal or any of that nonsense required. You can play anything on your chromecast that you could play from your Android phone. That includes music/video played through Apple Music.

Personally, I prefer Google Music over Apple Music but Verizon is giving away Apple Music subscriptions for free (if you've got a Verizon unlimited data plan) so I'm moving to Apple from Google for music. Free is for me after all.

Hope this helps clear up some of the nonsense floating around (and in this message thread). Enjoy your music, and don't worry about DRM. In this case, all the DRM in the world is a non-issue. This method isn't illegal. This method is fully supported by Google (since it uses a Google Chromecast and Google Home). Apple doesn't specify what kind of speakers or listening hardware you use in their EULA, so you aren't violating the terms or anything of the sort.

Chromecast allows you to cast your favorite music from music services like Spotify, Google Play Music, and Pandora to Speaker. But Apple Music is not available to stream through the Chromecast device. Here Sidify Apple Music Converter comes to rescue you: remove DRM from Apple Music songs and play Apple Music with Chromecast Audio.
