Music App on Roku or Fire Stick or ?

I just subscribed to Apple Music, main reason was ability to take my personal library (was iPod/iTunes based) with me on my iPad and iPhone. Also, I have and pay for Apple TV+ and iCloud so will eventually go with One.

My goal is to stream Apple Music so that the app appears on my family room TV and the music plays through the attached home stereo. Exactly like Pandora, Spotify, etc.

I have a Roku Ultra currently on my main TV (connected to home stereo) and a also have a Fire Stick so I could use either streaming device. I'm seeing that it's not possible on either the Roku or the Fire to run the Music app, is that correct? Only way is thru Alexa but no app just via voice control? I do have a Samsung smart TV but apparently it is just old enough to not have Music on it because the app doesn't show up as there or add-able.

Does anyone know... Are there any plans to make the Music app available to Roku or Fire? Can my Samsung be updated (I believe no)? What are my options? Another streamer like Apple TV? Anything else? Switch to Spotify Premium (I believe it allows personal library)?

Thanks in advance for the assistance.

No one here in this user-to-user forum would be able to answer that question. You can let Apple know that it's something you'd like to see here:

For what it's worth, you can access Apple Music through Alexa. I haven't personally tried it but, perhaps it's possible to do the link through the Alexa app and then access the music by using Alexa and the Fire TV stick. Might be something to play around with.
