Is Apple Music on PS4?
Technically speaking, all the songs on Apple Music will only be playable on the IOS systems due to the DRM protection. Therefore, there is no Apple music or Apple Music streaming service on the PS4.
To play Apple Music songs on the PS4, you may need the help of DLNA or the Apple Music web player, though this is an effective yet inconvenient solution because you have to open the Apple Music webpage every time you want to listen to music. Plus, it also requires a stable Wi-Fi connection. Therefore, many people will turn to music conversion to save their songs in MP3 formats so they can listen to music whenever they want.
Compared with the above method, music conversion is much easier and quick when it comes to playing Apple Music on PS4.

After that, you can transfer the converted Apple Music songs to a USB drive and plug the USB into your PS4 to play.
