How to Stream Apple Music from Dropbox On the Go

Part 1. Why You Can't Play Apple Music on Dropbox

Unlike iTunes songs which requires you to purchase, Apple Music enables you to get access to millions of tracks with a small amount of subscriptions fee. But everything has its price. The short-coming is that Apple Music are integrated with the DRM protection. You should make sure the audio files are authorized on iTunes before you can play them well.

Since Dropbox store the file on its cloud server, you are impossible to authorize the music files from your own computer or mobile devices. In this case, the unique solution is to stream Apple Music on Dropbox is to bypass the DRM schema.

It supports to convert Apple Music, iTunes podcasts, iTunes audiobooks and much more. You can preview the songs during converting and the output quality is the lossless. Besides, the 20X speed will save you a lot of time if you have a large playlist.
