Apple Music is a subscription streaming service, not a purchase platform. Downloading songs from it for permanent offline access violates:

Legitimate Alternatives for Apple music downloader if you want to get Music:

- Qobuz: Hi-res downloads for purchase
- 7digital: DRM-free FLAC purchases
- Beatport: Electronic music focused
- Amazon Music: Some tracks available for individual purchase
