Ukeysoft Apple Music converter review: The most popular Apple Music converter

Apple Music is a very popular streaming music platform. On the Apple Music store, over 50 million songs can be found. This music service works on iTunes, iOS, and it can even work on Android devices.

Apple Music gives you a free 3-month trial, during which you can try out all the features Apple Music offers. After the trial is up you can keep this service for $9.99 a month or get a family service for $14.99 a month. There is also a discounted rate for students at $4.99 a month.

If you plan to stop subscribing, you can cancel at any time. You can now stream Apple Music songs on iPhones, Android phones, Apple Watches, Apple TV, personal computers, Carplay, Amazon Echo via iTunes or the Apple Music app.

Can Apple Music be Played on Other Devices?

Any Apple music song uses digital rights management technology, or DRM for short. Apple will use copyright restrictions to protect all of this music. If you have an Apple Music subscription account, you can download Apple Music songs for offline playback after logging in. You will find that the downloaded Apple music track is a file with a .m4p extension. Due to DRM, this encrypted M4P song cannot be played on other players such as Sony Walkman, iPod nano/classic and other MP3 players.

Can Apple Music Be Converted to MP3s?

Apple Music songs are protected by DRM so that you can only enjoy Apple music songs on limited devices. In addition, downloaded songs require subscription account authentication, which means that even if you download Apple music tracks, they don’t really belong to you. After your subscription expires, the downloaded song will become unplayable.

The best way to stream Apple music is to completely get rid of DRM protection and convert Apple music into a common format, such as MP3. After getting the DRM-free MP3s, you can play Apple Music songs and albums on any device and player.

There are pros and cons to this program and the conversion process for these songs.

Features, Pros, Cons

Some features are specific to this program. This will help the user understand how it works and if it is a program that will meet their needs.

• The Apple Music Converter can be used on a Windows computer of a macOS device. Both of these versions are updated at the same time.
• This review product is UkeySoft Apple Music Converter V.6.5.3. We have tested it on macOS 6.1.2, Mojave 10.14 on MacBook Pro and Windows 10/8/7/XP.

The precious thing about this music converter is that it supports deleting DRM from encrypted audio, converting songs to MP3, AAC, AC3, M4R, AIFF, AU and MKA formats and outputting the same quality as the original audio. In the output file, all song information will be retained, including title, album, artist, composer, album and track number, type, etc.

Features

Convert Apple Music to Multiple Formats

• Another benefit you get here is that with UkeySoft, you can convert any DRM-protected Apple Music, iTunes M4A music, AA, AAX audiobooks to plain MP3, M4A, AAC, AC3, AIFF, AU, FLAC, M4R, and MKA for any media players.
