Get started
When I want to play Tidal/Spotify through my home theater system, I pull up the apps via my Apple TV box menu, click through and play. But, I have no visibility into the music quality setting of the apps when using the Apple TV box. I can see the music quality settings on my iPhone, but not when using the app interface on the Apple TV box. You can play Spotify directly from your TV, or by using your phone, tablet, or desktop as a remote. To see if your TV supports the Spotify app, go to the app store on your TV and search for Spotify.
