How to Download Music from Apple Music to Mac

"Can I download Apple Music to my MacBook? It seems that the downloaded Apple Music are not saved as complete files on local drive, even though they can be played offline with the app."

Apple Music has attracted a great number of users for the vast music library and other distinctive features it offers. Nevertheless, it’s a music streaming service, and you may encounter all kinds of restrictions even though you are a paid subscriber. For example, you are not allowed to directly download songs from Apple Music to your computer and limited to enjoy Apple Music with the Apple Music app.

What’s happening? All the songs that Apple Music offer are in a proprietary format, for which they are just stored as cache files even if you’ve clicked the “download” icon to download them from Apple Music for offline listening. That also explains why you'll lose access to the alleged "downloaded" files as well once you discontinue the service.

In this article, we are going to show you a particular way to download songs from Apple Music as complete files on your local computer ( Mac | PC ) with the help of Sidify Apple Music Converter, the most popular music tool in the streaming world.
