The best free apple music downloader that supports high quality mp3?
For your question, a dedicated apple music downloader is required for downloading apple music to mp3. It plays the songs and re-records or decrypts them. You can't just rename the files or drag them out of iTunes, because they’re encrypted .m4p files.
Step 1: Install an Apple music downloader like iMusicGo on your PC or Mac.
Step 2: Browse your Apple Music songs and select the ones you want to download and convert.
Step 3: Set Output Format to MP3. Choose a high bitrate like 320kbps for best quality. Pick an output folder on your PC.
Step 4: Click Convert or Start. The software will process each track, removing DRM and saving it as an unprotected MP3 file.
Step 4: The MP3 files can now be played in Windows Media Player, car stereos, MP3 players, or transferred to any device even without Apple Music.
Tip: If you only need a few songs, you could also record them in real time using an audio recorder like Audaacity. This avoids DRM circumvention but is slower and requires playback in full.
