"How to burn Apple Music playlist to CD? I want to brun Apple Music to CD, then I can play CDs in my car with CD player?"

Something is happening: When you drag the tracks from a purchased playlist to a new playlist and click "Burn Playlist to CD", a warning pops up telling you that Apple Music AAC files cannot be burned onto CD. If you want to burn songs from Apple Music to CD, you need to remove DRM from Apple Music and convert them to MP3 firstly.

You find that you can't burn any Apple Music tracks to a CD. What should you do? Although Apple Music has over 60 million tracks online, sometimes it is not convenient to get access to it if you have an old iPod, portable CD player and other players without an internet connection. Because anything you download from Apple Music's streaming catalog is DRM-protected, you are not allowed to burn any Apple Music audio to CD/ DVD disc nor copying offline tracks to other platforms. Worse still, when the subscription ends, the DRM-protected M4P songs will be disabled and inoperable. Due to DRM, users are unable to burn Apple Music to CD for playing in your car or at home. To break this barrier, you first need to convert Apple Music to MP3.

Let's teach you the best way to burn Apple Music songs/playlist/albums onto a CD easily.

Things Required:

• UkeySoft Apple Music Converter for Mac/Windows
• Windows PC(Windows Vista/7/8/8.1/10) or Mac(OS X 10.11 or above) with disc drive
• Apple ID with Apple Music subscription
• The latest iTunes app or Apple Music app
