Apple Music is at heart a streaming solution that enables you to enjoy more than 100 million songs. Streaming is awesome, you can listen to anything you want. But we have to keep in mind that a cellular cost is inevitable, it could cause certain confusion if you have a limited cellular data plan. And even if you have a massive cellular plan, there are still some circumstances that make streaming unavailable, such as in an airplane or somewhere that you have a very weak cellular signal. Hence, streaming Apple Music offline has become quite important to some extent. Lucky for you, Apple Music allows you to save your songs, albums and playlists to your iPhone or Android device (with Apple Music app installed) for offline listening. Here we will guide you to two methods on how to save Apple Music songs for offline streaming.
Method 1: Download Songs or Playlists Directly from Apple Music
Method 2: Stream Apple Music Offline on Unsupported Device or App
Before we download music from Apple Music, turn on the iCloud Music Library on your devices first. After that, please follow these steps to save music from Apple Music for offline listening.
On your iOS or Android device:
Step 1 Open the Apple Music app and select the song, album or playlist that you want to save for offline streaming.

It is not that hard to download your favorite tracks in iTunes for offline streaming, but you should keep in mind that it is required to keep your Apple Music subscription to access the downloaded songs.
