How to Record Apple Music M4P Streams as MP3

Published on 22 January 16

What is M4P Format? Is it possible to record or convert my Apple Music songs to MP3?

"Is there any way to convert Apple Music M4P files to MP3? iTunes doesn't allow to burn discs with Apple Music files, is there any other method?"

As one of the most popular streaming music services, Apple Music enables users to temporarily save songs for offline listening, which makes it more convenient for listening to music on the road. But, what will let you down is that the downloaded Apple Music songs are in M4P format (protected AAC format), which limits users listening to music from many aspects. To get rid of the restrictions, you should convert the protected M4P music to plain audio formats. Here the article will tell you how to record protected Apple Music streams as plain MP3 to get maximum listening pleasure.

M4P is a file extension for a protected audio file encoded with advanced audio codec (AAC). Apple has implemented FairPlay DRM protection on its downloaded music, but since 2009, Apple announced that DRM had been removed from 80% of its music catalog. However, the release of Apple Music witnesses the strong return of FairPlay DRM. Apple Music streams are encoded as protected M4P music.

Thanks for sharing this tool, and I have tried this software and there is no doubt that this is a professional tool to convert Apple Music M4P to MP3. But actually, I have already owned an Apple Music to MP3 Converter for Wins, which can work on Apple Music M4P, iTunes M4P songs and M4A, M4B audiobooks and Audible audiobooks. Since your software has no special features compared to the software I’m using, I don’t like to change the product to yours. Anywhere, thanks for your post.
