Is there a way to download an album from Apple Music that is only available on Apple Music to a Android Device?

So basically I want to download an album that is only on Apple Music onto my Android Device to listen offline

Is this possible?

Not sure if it is still possible, but the work flow for this used to be to use iTunes to burn the tracks or album to a CD and then rip the newly created CD to a format of your choice.

If you don’t have a CD burner, I seem to remember it was possible to emulate a cd burner on Windows and create an iso instead. I don’t remember how I did that though. I was running XP back then and that was a long time ago.

Edit: adding link to iTunes software

Last time I checked iTunes (AKA Music) doesn’t allow you to burn tracks from AM.

Last time I needed to do this was 2006ish. Like I said it’s been a while. Worth checking into though. Might need the cd burner installed (or emulated) for the option to be available.

I also seem to recall that thee were a couple of projects attempting to strip the DRM off of Apple’s proprietary music format. Not sure how those turned out.

And no, as far as I know, it is not possible to go straight from Apple Music to mp3, or whatever format you prefer. It has to be downloaded to iTunes first.

If you pay for Apple Music, you can download the album with the Android app. What album is only on Apple Music, though?

You used to be able to run Apple Music on Android. I used it for a while. Not sure if it still exists.

If you buy the track on iTunes, you should be able to download it as a drm free m4a file which should work fine on your android.

/edit: although that may not be the option you are looking for.

There are telegram bots that you can use to download from AM.
