Apple Music: Download Music - Here's how

If you want to download your music from Apple Music, this works for offline use and also for synchronizing multiple devices. Our instructions show you exactly how to proceed.

Download music from Apple Music: You should pay attention to this

With the new iCloud music library, you can upload all your personal songs to Apple and share them with Apple Music.

• If you start iTunes on your Mac or Windows PC, you will be asked if you want to use the iCloud music library. You should confirm this process.
• If one of your songs is also available from Apple Music, it will not be uploaded. Only songs that Apple Music doesn't know will be uploaded additionally.
• If you now log on to an iOS device or another Mac / PC with your Apple ID, the synchronized songs will be downloaded automatically.
• Note: The songs can currently only be uploaded if your media library does not contain more than 25, 000 titles. In addition, your songs are protected by DRM when downloading and can no longer be played after your Apple Music subscription has ended. However, the file can be converted using Tunebite.
