Apple Music is available for Mac, PC, Android, Apple TV, all iPhones, iPads, and iPod touch models. But there are still many players can’t support playing protected Apple Music. Simple because all Apple Music files are encrypted by DRM protection and not allowed to be played on any music devices other than Apple’s media players.
