Converting songs to MP3 format
Apple Music is a great streaming service, but it has one major drawback: you can’t download songs or play them offline unless you’re a paying subscriber. That said, there are some ways around this restriction.
There are a few different ways to download Apple Music songs to your computer. You can use a third-party program like TuneFab Apple Music Converter or AudFree Apple Music Converter, which will allow you to convert the M4P files that Apple Music uses into MP3s. Or, if you’re not opposed to using iTunes, you can use the built-in iTunes Match service to download songs to your computer.
Once you’ve downloaded the songs you want, you can either keep them in their original format or convert them to MP3s. If you want to keep them as M4Ps, they’ll only work with Apple devices, but they’ll be of a higher quality than MP3s. If you convert them to MP3s, however, they’ll work with any device and will take up less space on your hard drive.
Transferring songs to your MP3 player
Generally, you can sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iTunes on your computer using USB. After you sync, the content on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch matches the content in your iTunes Library on your computer.
Before you use iTunes to sync content to your iOS device, consider using iCloud or similar services to keep content from your Mac or PC in the cloud. This way, you can access your music, photos, and more on your iOS devices when you aren’t near your computer. Learn more about using iCloud or similar services to keep content up to date across all of your devices.
You might want to use iTunes to sync items on your iOS device with items in iCloud and vice versa. For example: If a song is stored only locally on an iOS device and not in iCloud, it won’t appear when viewing the Music app on a Mac with iTunes Match turned off; conversely if a song is stored only in iCloud and not locally on an iOS device it won’t appear when viewing the Music app offline on an iOS device.Status icons appear in the upper-left corner of each item:
An icon with a downward-pointing arrow means that the item is available for download from iCloud;
An exclamation point means that there was a problem downloading the item from iCloud;
A plus sign means that the item isn’t stored locally but can be downloaded from iCloud;
A checkmark means that the item is stored locally; and
A question mark means that iTunes can’t determine whether the item is stored locally or must be downloaded from iCloud.
