I understand your desire to transfer your music library to your new Windows 11 laptop and Android device. However, it's important to note that Apple Music tracks are protected with DRM (Digital Rights Management), which prevents direct downloading or conversion to high-quality MP3 files through unofficial tools. Using third-party Apple music downloaders or converters may violate Apple’s terms of service and could pose legal and security risks.
Official and Legal Solutions:
- Apple Music Offline Downloads: If you have an active subscription, you can download songs directly within the Apple Music app on your Windows PC using iTunes. These downloads are DRM-protected but playable within authorized apps.
- Apple Music on Android: Apple Music has an official app for Android that allows offline listening, again with DRM protection.
If You Want MP3 Files:
- Purchase Songs Individually: If you want MP3s without DRM, consider purchasing songs directly from the iTunes Store (via iTunes on Windows). Purchased songs are usually DRM-free and available as high-quality MP3s.
- Use Authorized Devices: Play the tracks on authorized devices and record them with authorized software (not recommended due to quality loss and potential legal issues).
Disclaimer: Converting DRM-protected files using third-party Apple music downloaders may infringe on copyright laws and Apple’s terms of service.
