Now you have the opportunity to convert Apple Music to MP3 and listen to them on any device, including iPod nano, iPod shuffle, PSP, PS4, Android tablet, MP3 Player, VLC Media Player, KM Player, MX Player, etc. Apple Music is protected with FairPlay DRM technology, which limits your ability to play on Apple licensed players. And one day, you canceled the Apple Music subscription, and the downloaded songs became unavailable.

To break these limits and listen to Apple Music without restrictions on your phone, you need to remove DRM protection from your Apple music files. Apple Music Converter is a one-stop audio solution software that allows you to remove DRM from Apple Music files and convert these tracks to common audio formats, such as MP3, AAC, AC3, AIFF, AU, FLAC, M4A, M4R, MKA. After conversion, the output audio file will maintain 100% lossless sound quality as well as the original ID3 tags and metadata. This way, you will be able to listen to Apple Music freely on any device and any media player, and keeps songs downloaded from Apple Music forever.
