We have found online that many websites suggest you to watch Apple Music TV through visiting Apple.co/AppleMusicTV in your web browser, if your device can’t download Apple Music app and Apple TV app. However, the truth is that the site link only takes me to the Apple TV app and I didn’t find where to watch Apple Music TV channel.

Step 4. Turn on Screen Mirroring option on your iPhone or iPad, tap Screen Mirroring and then choose 5KPlayer to connect from the list.
* Swipe up from the bottom of any screen of your idevice if you have an iPad/iPhone with iOS 11 or earlier, or swipe down from the upper-right corner of the screen if you have an iPad with iOS 12/iOS 13/iPadOS or iPhone with iOS 12/13.

Step 5. Play Apple Music TV channel in Apple Music app or Apple TV app on your iPhone or iPad, and 5KPlayer will instantly receive the contents and display them on PC without lags.
