TuneCable Apple Music Converter downloads DRM-Free ALAC songs from Apple Music with the authentic audio quality perfectly preserved. It particularly specializes in ripping Apple audios including songs, albums, playlists, podcasts, iTunes downloads, and audible audiobooks to a local Windows PC or Mac in unencrypted MP3/AAC/WAV/AIFF/ALAC/FLAC formats.

Things get easier after removing the restraints imposed on Apple Music tracks. You can:

  1. Never lose the Apple songs even if you choose to be unsubscribed to Apple Music.
  2. Unlimitedly play the ALAC songs when there is no network connection.
  3. Easily transfer the ALAC Apple songs to a series of portable devices.
  4. Import the Apple songs to ALAC-supported programs for editing or creating.
  5. Share your favorite Apple Music playlists with your friends who are not subscribed to Apple Music yet.

To play Apple Music on MP3 player, I use the TunesBank Apple Music Converter to help me. It is a nice tool that can convert Apple Music to MP3/M4A/FLAC/WAV with original quality. Then I can save Apple Music files as local files and put them on MP3 player for playing with ease.
Step 1. Download and install UkeySoft Apple Music Converter from the official website.
Step 2. Log in to your Apple ID in the program and set MP3 as output format.
Step 3. Search for the music you want to convert to MP3 format.
Step 4. Click on the convert button to start the downloading process.
Step 5. Choose the MP3 format and desired audio quality.
Wait for the conversion to complete.
The converted music will be saved on your local drive in the folder of your choice, then you’re able to transfer Apple songs to MP3 player.
