How to Download and Sync Apple Music to MusicBee

Part 1. Does MusicBee Support Apple Music?

While you might expect a seamless sync between Apple Music and MusicBee, you have likely discovered that a direct integration isn't possible. MusicBee is a powerful manager for local files, but it hits a wall when it comes to Apple's streaming encryption.

All Apple Music songs are encrypted by Apple's FairPlay Digital Rights Management (DRM) and encoded in M4P format. However, MusicBee only supports standard audio formats, such as MP3, AAC, and FLAC. That's to say, even if you have the Apple Music files saved on your hard drive, they will appear as greyed out or unplayable in MusicBee unless the DRM is removed.
