Here are some suggestions if you are going to download an entire album from Apple Music. Since this is for a music course project:

1. Screen/Audio Recording (for analysis only): Use Windows' built-in Game Bar (Win+G) or Voice Recorder app to record short excerpts for your personal educational analysis under "fair use" guidelines

2. Free Music Archives:

Add: Using screen or audio recording tools to capture or download an entire album from Apple Music on Windows might seem like a straightforward way to get the music, but there are important considerations.

Accessibility: If you're unable to download the songs directly due to restrictions or device limitations, recording can be an alternative.

Offline playback: You can listen to the recorded tracks offline without needing an internet connection.

Creative uses: Some users record streams for personal use, such as creating mixes or backups (though this is often legally gray).
