Apple Music is one of the most popular music streaming platforms in the world, offering access to over 100 million tracks. But as convenient as it is, there’s one major drawback — you don’t actually own the music. Once your subscription ends, all your downloaded songs disappear. You can’t transfer them to other devices, burn them to CDs, or listen offline without the Apple Music app.
That’s where the need to convert Apple Music to MP3 comes in.
In this article, we'll walk you through why converting Apple Music to MP3 is essential, how to do it using the powerful ViWizard Apple Music Converter, and finally, how to add MP3s to Apple Music on your iPhone for easy listening. Whether you're looking to back up your music, transfer songs to a USB drive, or play Apple Music on any device, this guide has you covered.
Apple Music songs come with Digital Rights Management (DRM) protection, which restricts how and where you can play them. Here’s why converting them to MP3 is a smart move:
1. Offline Listening Without Limits: Even if you download Apple Music tracks for offline playback, they’re still tied to your Apple ID and subscription. MP3 files, however, can be played on any device — no app or subscription required.
2. Backup Your Favorite Music: Want to ensure your playlists are safe forever? Converting to MP3 allows you to save your favorite songs permanently — even if Apple removes them from its library.
3. Use on Any Device: MP3 is the most widely supported audio format. Once converted, your music becomes compatible with MP3 players, car stereos, Android devices, smart TVs, and more.
4. Create Personal CDs or USB Drives: If you're old-school and love burning CDs or want to create a USB music stick for your car, you'll need those tracks in MP3 format.
5. Edit and Remix Freely: As an MP3 file, you can import songs into editing software like Audacity or GarageBand for remixes, mashups, or personal projects.
