"Maybe you just want to stream Apple Music to Roku but it seems to have a restriction on them. Is there any way to unlock them?"
Roku (Roku Streaming Player), as a series of digital media player set-top boxes, is capable of playing streaming music and video, also your photos. The streaming music services supported by Roku include Pandora, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, and more (https://channelstore.roku.com/browse/music), but Apple Music is not mentioned in this list. So this page shows you a guide on playing Apple Music songs on Roku as your home's music hub.
Because the Apple Music application did not join in Roku and we have no direct way to access it on Roku, besides, all Apple Music songs are M4P files which are not supported by Roku for playback. We just glance at the table below and only to find that M4P is not included in the list.
Roku Audio Playback Format
| Audio format | AAC, MP3, WMA, FLAC (firmware 5.3 and later), WAV (firmware 5.3 and later) |
Even though the Apple Music songs can't be played directly on Roku, there is still another way out to make up for your regrets, especially you can large libraries in which you download many Apple Music songs but suffer from the streaming restrictions like playback and transmission.
The way to let you out is removing the protection from these songs you download from Apple Music to make them personal and converting them to the audio format supported by Roku. So it is important to find a decent Apple Music converter to relieve your worries. Here you can try Sidify Apple Music Converter if you haven't.
All things you need to prepare are including: a laptop running Windows or Mac system, the latest version of iTunes and most importantly, an Apple Music converter installed.

Roku Media Player allows you to listen to your music files, watch your video files, and view photos by using the Roku device’s USB port or by accessing a media server on your local network. DLNA also enables sharing of content like music, videos, and photos between devices connected over a network. To play content stored on another device or computer on your Roku device using DLNA, the other device must be running DLNA server software and must be on the same network as your Roku device.
