Looking for a way to take your Apple Music with you anywhere? Just transfer them to a USB! This guide will show you how to transfer Apple Music to a USB flash drive step by step. First, we’ll look at where those Apple Music downloads are stored on your device. Then, we’ll introduce you to a simple tool that makes it possible to copy Apple Music to a USB. Finally, we’ll go through the steps to download Apple Music onto your computer and move them to your USB.
Apple Music downloads are typically stored in a specific location on your device, depending on the operating system you're using:
Downloads are stored within the Apple Music app itself. You can locate them in the Music Library and play the Apple Music downloads offline within the app.
Step 1 Open up the Music app.
Step 2 Tap Library and you’ll see “Downloaded” folder.
* If you don’t see the folder, you can just click the Edit button to the right and select it to display.
Step 1 Go to the Apple Music app.
Step 2 Select Songs in the sidebar.
Step 3 Click the three dots for a song, choose Properties, then select File.
The path to the file is shown at the bottom of the pane (next to location).
These files are typically in a protected format, meaning they can't be played outside of Apple Music or without conversion.
Being protected by Apple's Digital Rights Management (DRM), Apple Music can't be directly downloaded and copied to USB drive. This means the Apple Music you’ve accumulated within the app becomes unplayable if you ever cancel your Apple Music subscription. If you need to enjoy your Apple Music downloads, it's better to convert Apple Music to be unprotected MP3 file by a third party software.
Sidify Apple Music Converter (Mac Version | Windows Version), is a professional tool that can download and convert Apple Music tracks to MP3 or other popular formats with lossless audio quality and all ID3 tags kept. After converting Apple Music to plain audio format, you can use them on any media player.
