I Switch to Samsung From Iphone How Can I Continue Apple Music

When subscribing to Apple Music, you can have full access to all songs on it and play them directly from devices that are linked to your Apple Music account. However, there are situations where you might want to put Apple Music tracks on devices that primarily play music, such as Sony Walkman, SanDisk Clip Jam, and other MP3 players that offer compelling features. And obviously, these media players are not on the list of Apple's authorized devices. Thus, you're not able to play apple music on these devices directly.

So here comes a question: how can you make Apple Music playable on unauthorized media players? You may also wonder if it is possible to reach the full potential of your music devices and make the best use of your Apple Music subscription?

The easiest workaround is to convert Apple Music to MP3.

TuneFab Apple Music Converter is an amazing program that I use, love, and highly recommend with confidence for your use. Hopefully, it'll help you as much as it helped me for Apple Music to MP3 conversion.

Part 1. What Format is Apple Music?

When you download songs from Apple Music, you will get audio files with the .m4p file extension name which are locked by Apple's FairPlay DRM. By default, AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) is the encoding format of M4P files which makes Apple Music users can only play music on specific devices.

(Apple Music is preinstalled on the iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and all macOS devices, and that for Android is available on Android 4.3 or later.)

Honestly, the popularity of AAC format is much lower than MP3 at present, except for Apple devices, most music players on the market still fail to support direct playback of AAC files. According to Apple, this format has the same sound quality as MP3, and files encoded in AAC format are slightly smaller than MP3. These are the reasons why you need to convert Apple Music M4P to MP3.

However, if you are an audiophile and wonder if it will reduce the sound quality when converting Apple Music to MP3, it depends on the tool you use. When you do this with a third-party professional Apple Music to MP3 converter, you can set the parameter to match the original quality and get the MP3 files in the best quality. If you prefer to use the official way, the converted songs will be compressed.

Part 4. How to Convert Song Files to MP3 with the Apple Music App or iTunes

Compared with songs from Apple Music, songs you purchased from iTunes or the Music App on Mac are not DRM-protected. They are also encoded in AAC format but with .m4a file extension. Conveniently, these purchased iTunes music can be directly converted to MP3 with iTunes and the native Apple Music App on Mac. After creating an MP3 copy of your favorite music, you can better manage and play them on your music device.

Note: Not necessarily all iTunes-purchased music after 2009 is DRM-Free. Therefore, you may still have to check if it is attached with DRM protection and unprotect iTunes songs. If the song you are trying to convert in this method is DRM-protected, you will fail in the last step as the option will grey out. In this case you can only use the third-part tool TuneFab Apple Music Converter to change it to an MP3 version.

Convert Songs with iTunes on Windows PC

iTunes on Windows PC can also convert your purchased DRM-free songs to MP3 with the MP3 encoder. Now follow the steps below to convert your songs. If you see Create AAC Version instead of Create MP3 Version, you should change your import setting first. Go to Edit > Preferences... > General > Import Settings... > Import Using and choose MP3 Encoder from the drop-download list.

STEP 1. Get your songs ready on iTunes.
Import your purchased songs to the iTunes library.
