This article explains how to play Apple Music on Clementine Music Player.
While Clementine supports many common audio formats (such as MP3, FLAC, WAV, OGG, etc.), it cannot directly read or play songs downloaded from Apple Music. This is because Apple Music music files use a specific encrypted audio format that can only be played through official Apple apps (such as Apple Music and iTunes).
Furthermore, Apple Music's playback mechanism relies on authorization verification and lacks an open interface with third-party players (such as Clementine). Therefore, even if you have downloaded song files, you will not be able to import or recognize them in Clementine.
