"TikTok will soon let you stream full songs in its app via a new integration with Apple Music. The company's new Play Full Song feature makes it possible to link your Apple Music account to TikTok, and play any song that strikes your fancy directly in the app while you're scrolling. Starting a song is as simple as tapping a button in the Sound Details page or your For You page."
"TikTok says that Play Full Song is built using Apple's MusicKit APIs, which let developers surface elements of the Apple Music streaming service in their apps. What's particularly interesting about this new integration is that because it's using Apple's APIs, songs streamed with Play Full Song count as normal streams for the artists in Apple Music, so they don't lose out on any money."
"Alongside the new feature, TikTok and Apple are also introducing a way for fans to listen to music live with their favorite artists. TikTok's Listening Party feature creates a live 'shared environment' where people can listen to music and interact with artists directly, in what effectively sounds like an audio-only livestream."
TikTok has launched Play Full Song, a new feature enabling users to stream full songs from Apple Music directly within the TikTok app. Users can link their Apple Music accounts and play songs by tapping a button on the Sound Details or For You page. The feature uses Apple's MusicKit APIs and opens a streamlined Apple Music player for listening, saving, and playlist management. Songs streamed through this feature count as normal streams for artists, ensuring they receive proper compensation. Additionally, TikTok introduced Listening Party, a live shared environment where fans can listen to music and interact with artists in real-time. This integration builds on TikTok's existing Add to Music App feature and reflects the platform's role in music discovery and artist promotion.
