YouTube Music offers access to millions of songs and countless music videos from around the world. Unfortunately, a dedicated YouTube Music app is unavailable on the Amazon App Store, which means Firestick and Fire TV users need alternative methods to enjoy YouTube Music. These methods include using the Music section in the YouTube app, accessing YouTube Music through the Silk Browser, or sideloading the YouTube Music app. This guide provides detailed steps for each method.
Purchase YouTube Music Premium for Ad-Free Streaming
Tracks on YouTube Music are free to listen to with ads. To remove ads and access additional premium features, you can subscribe to YouTube Music Premium for $10.99 per month. Alternatively, you can opt for a YouTube Premium subscription at $13.99 per month, which includes YouTube Music Premium as part of the membership.
