Control Apple Music from Multiple devices

I have a speaker playing apple music and would like to simultaneously control apple music (play, stop, pause, etc) from my iPhone, iPad, TV, MAC, and PC at the same time. This is an essential feature of Spotify.

Meaning, I open Apple Music on any device, and will automatically show what is playing and in which speaker so I can control reproduction anywhere I open Apple Music. Thanks!

Can Apple Music do the same? (Without using Siri please)

Hello lperezcoto,


"You can use the iTunes Remote app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to control media libraries that are on your Mac and other computers. You can download the iTunes Remote app for free from the App Store on your iPhone or iPad."

Pair iTunes Remote with your media library

Before you can use the iTunes Remote app, you need to pair it with the media library (or libraries) you want to control. Your device and your computer must be on the same wireless network and signed in with the same Apple ID.

1. On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, open the Remote app.
2. Do one of the following:

• If it’s your first time using iTunes Remote: Tap Connect Manually.
• If it’s not your first time using iTunes Remote: Tap Settings, then tap “Add a media library.”

A 4-digit code appears.

In the Music app  on your Mac, click the Remote button  below Devices in the sidebar, then type the 4-digit code. 

Music pairs the library on your computer with the iTunes Remote app on your device.
