Apple Music Converter loads all contents of iTunes Music Library. If you have previously added songs that need to be converted to your library, it is easy to find them. Click on Music or Playlist to select Apple Music songs that you want to convert to MP3.

The program supports rip and convert Apple Music tracks into MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, AC3, AIFF, AU, FLAC, M4R, and MKA. If you want to play Apple Music songs on Audacious or audio players, MP3 is good enough. You can also change the output profile under each output format option.

This is an optional step. Apple Music Converter allows you to adjust the conversion speed from 1X to 16X by clicking the Option-Preferences buttons.

Step 4 Start Apple Music to MP3 Conversion

Next, simply hit on “Convert” and wait for a few seconds. The Apple Music Converter starts converting all of Apple Music tracks to MP3 automatically.
