Smartphones are now equipped with the ability to run multiple apps simultaneously. But if you’re a Roblox player, such technology is useless, as the Roblox app doesn’t allow you to run music streaming apps while you’re playing. Fortunately, there’s a workaround to solve this.
In this article, you will learn why you can’t listen to music while playing Roblox on mobile devices and how to bypass this problem.
Why You Can’t Listen to Music While Playing Roblox on Mobile
You can’t listen to music while playing Roblox mobile because the app prioritizes game background sounds over music from other apps like Spotify. This limitation also prevents potential lag or performance issues from running the game and the music app simultaneously.
Playing music in Roblox while live streaming is also not allowed. This violates the rights of the music creators and breaks copyright laws. If you do not have the necessary permissions or licenses, you, as the streamer, and the platform could face legal consequences.
How to Listen to Music While Playing Roblox
Here are four methods on how to listen to music while playing your favorite Roblox game on iPhones or Android phones:
Method 1: Roblox Spotify Island
Roblox Spotify Island is a unique virtual world on Roblox made in partnership with Spotify. This is the official way to listen to music while playing on Roblox.
Launch the “Roblox app”, search for “Roblox Spotify Island“, and click “Play” to join the Spotify Island server. After the game loads, link your Spotify account by following the on-screen instructions, and you can enjoy listening to music by clicking on the “Play” button in the upper right corner of your screen.
Note that you can only play the songs listed in this Roblox Spotify Island Playlist.
Method 2: Using Earbuds With Built-In Controls
One of the easiest ways to listen to music in the background while playing Roblox is by using wired or wireless earbuds with built-in media controls. Simply connect the earbuds to your phone and launch your music App. Then open Roblox. Although the music will automatically pause, you can resume the music with the play button on your earbuds.
Method 3: Joining a Discord Music Bot
Using a music bot is another excellent option for listening to music while playing Roblox. Discord music bots can play entire playlists or individual tracks while you chat or play on Roblox.
