“My Apple Music membership is about to expire next month. Can I save the downloaded Apple Music for playback after subscription ends? If not, how can I keep the Apple Music playable after canceling subscription? Thanks”
Does Apple Music Let Us Keep the Music We Downloaded?
Obviously not. As a popular streaming music service, Apple Music provides users different ways to download Apple Music songs. One is that, you can buy songs on iTunes, then this song will belong to you permanently, and you can download it back anytime on any device by logging in your Apple ID. Or download songs from Apple Music with a subscription account. Although you have downloaded Apple Music songs, they are still rented, and when the subscription expires, all streaming music that you've added to your library from the Apple Music catalog will no longer be playable. So, how to keep Apple Music downloaded songs forever?
Why can’t We Save the Downloaded Apple Music after Unsubscribed?
Like its competitor Spotify, Apple Music also set DRM protection to its music source files. Actually, we don’t own Apple Music, Apple Music is just a streaming music service, and the monthly fee we pay is to be allowed to stream songs from its library. Even if you download Apple Music to your computer for backup, you will find that these music files cannot be opened after the subscription expires.
