During the leisure time, many people would love to sit on their couch and watch TV, eating popcorn and laughing out loud. With the popularity of set-top boxes (STB), many online multimedia sources are also available on TV, which vastly enrich people's life and increase their choices of TV programs, movies, and music etc. However, some online paid multimedia sources may not be accessible to many STBs, for instance, iTunes music, movies, and even audiobooks are only available on Apple devices or Apple-authorized programs. Some STBs, take Roku as an example in this case, may fail to stream iTunes music, movies, etc. Fortunately, this is no longer an issue now thanks to the emerging of many third party programs, which are developed to help tackle this issue with unique technology. In this post, I would like to introduce a program to you so that you can successfully play iTunes music on Roku or any other STBs.

Part 1: Can you play iTunes music on Roku

It can be easily found out from Wikipedia that the Roku Streaming Player, or simply Roku is a series of digital media player set-top boxes manufactured by Roku, Inc. Roku partners provide over-the-top content in the form of channels. The name comes from the Japanese word (roku) meaning "six" and was named so because it was the sixth company that Anthony Wood (founder and CEO since 2002) started. A Roku streaming device gets data (the video stream) via a wired or Wi-Fi connection from an Internet router. The data is output via an audio cable, video cable, or a HDMI connector directly on some of the device models. Roku is commonly used and seen in households but can you stream iTunes music on Roku? Apparently, the answer is no. As mentioned above, iTunes movies, music,and audiobooks etc are mostly protected by DRM, which allows only Apple devices or Apple-authorized programs to stream freely. As a result, if you need to play iTunes music on Roku, a third party program is required.
