Use Siri to play music on iPad

You can use Siri to control music playback in the Music app .

Summon Siri, then make your request. Siri supports a wide variety of commands:

Play Apple Music: You can play any song (“Play ‘Experience’ by Victoria Monét”), artist (“Play Lianne La Havas”), album, playlist, or station. You can play music on AirPlay 2-enabled devices in a specific room (“Play the latest album by Alicia Keys in the living room”). You can also play popular songs from different years (“Play the top songs from 1990”).
Let Siri be your personal DJ: Say something like “Play my Chill Mix” or “Play something I like.”
Add music from Apple Music to your library: (Apple Music subscription required) Say, for example, “Add ‘Gaslighter’ by The Chicks to my Library.” Or while playing something, say “Add this to my library.”
Add a song or album to a playlist: While playing a song, say something like “Add this song to my Workout playlist” or “Add this album to my Sunday Morning playlist.”
Find out more about the current song: Say “What’s playing?”, “Who sings this song?”, or “Who is this song by?”
Tip: You can also identify a song playing on or near iPad by adding the Music Recognition control to Control Center. Go to Settings > Control Center, then tap next to Music Recognition. With a song playing, open Control Center, then tap .
Play songs based on their lyrics: Say “Play the song with the lyrics” and then say a key phrase from the lyrics.

Siri can also help you find music in the iTunes Store. See Get music, movies, and TV shows in the iTunes Store on iPad.
