While the app has been available on Android and iOS for some time now, support on other platforms has been limited.<\/p>\n<p>However, Nintendo Music is now coming to Android Auto and CarPlay, allowing you to pump Mario Kart 8 tracks from your vehicle&#8217;s speakers on your morning commute to work. Nintendo Music is now also available on desktop via browsers and features a tablet-friendly UI.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"this-update-makes-it-way-easier-to-listen-to-nintendo-music-tracks-when-you-39-re-behind-the-wheel\">\n                        This update makes it way easier to listen to Nintendo Music tracks when you&#8217;re behind the wheel<br \/>\n               <\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"it-39-s-great-to-see-nintendo-take-its-music-streaming-app-seriously\">\n            It&#8217;s great to see Nintendo take its music streaming app seriously<br \/>\n    <\/h3>\n<p>The addition of Android Auto and CarPlay support means that the Nintendo Music app icon will now appear in the launcher for both in-car platforms. Before this update, the only way to play Nintendo Music tunes in your car was via the mobile app over Bluetooth. While this isn&#8217;t a massive problem, if you&#8217;re a CarPlay or Android Auto user, it can be a bit annoying.<\/p>\n<p>             &#8230;<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.xda-developers.com\/nintendo-music-new-carplay-android-auto-support-makes-every-drive-feel-like-mario-kart\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nintendo Music&#8217;s new CarPlay and Android Auto support makes every drive feel like Mario Kart&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":263154,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/static0.xdaimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/nintendo-music-header.jpg?w=1600&h=900&fit=crop","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-263153","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-android"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/263153"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=263153"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/263153\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":263155,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/263153\/revisions\/263155"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/263154"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=263153"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=263153"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=263153"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
