Part 1. How to Save Downloaded Apple Music Tracks Temporarily for Offline Listening

Where do I get Apple Music?It’s built into the latest versions of iTunes on your computer and the Music app on your iPhone or iPad. You have to upgrade to the latest version of iTunes or the iOS operating system on your phone or tablet to see it.

Apple pioneered the idea of buying music online, but until recently their focus has been selling song-by-song downloads via iTunes for 99 cents to $1.29 each. With Apple Music, you pay a flat $10 a month to listen to any of the songs in its catalog. The songs or albums can stream to your computer, iPhone, or iPad over an Internet connection, or you can download them to play directly from your device. But you’re renting, not buying. Even if it’s on your phone or computer, the songs from Apple Music won’t play if you let the subscription lapse. (Music you bought on iTunes is still yours, though.)Have join the Apple Music membership and want to listening Apple Music on different devices?Here are how to download Apple Music onto your iOS, PC or Mac locally.

Download Apple Music to iPhone, iPad or iPod without iTunes or a Computer

This method is going to take you awhile, but it’s certainly possible.

In the Music app, tap the Library tab.

From here, you can either select Songs or Albums.

If you select songs, you’ll need to scroll through your list and tap the iCloud icon next to every song it appears by (that icon indicates the song isn’t downloaded).

If you select Albums, you can go through and add each album to a playlist dedicated to all of your music. If you have an iPhone with 3D Touch, speed up the process a little by 3D-touching each album to jump right into adding it to a playlist.

Once you’ve added all the albums to a playlist, go back and tap on Playlists.

Find the playlist and open it. Then tap the iCloud icon at the top of the list.

If you have a large library, it will take some time to download. So make sure you’re using Wi-Fi to download all that music, and I recommend charging your iPhone during the process too. You may even want to do this overnight.

Download All Apple Music to iPhone, iPad, or iPod Using iTunes

Open iTunes on your computer.
At the very top, select File, choose New, and click Smart Playlist.

At this time a box will pop up,then leave Match checked and Music selected.

Select Time from the second drop down box and Is Greater Than in the second.

Type 00:00; that way all your songs will be included since they are all longer than zero seconds.

Make sure Limit to is unchecked.

Check Live Updating so that new songs added to your iCloud Music Library are downloaded too.

See the example below for clarification:

Give the playlist a name such as All Music.

Now, since you have iCloud Music Library enabled on your computer and iPhone, grab your iPhone and open the Music app.

Tap My Library. Select Playlists. And choose the playlist you just created in iTunes.

Tap the cloud icon with a downward arrow that’s next to the album art at the top of your playlist. All of your music will begin to download.

Depending on the size of your collection, this could take a while. As stated above, I recommend keeping your iPhone plugged in and turning auto-lock off while all of your music downloads.
