Compared with MP3, WAV (Waveform Audio File Format) is better for music enthusiasts because of its lossless and uncompressed sound quality. But we know that Apple Music is a well-known streaming music service, and subscribers can stream Apple Music songs on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV, Mac and other devices currently. All songs downloaded from Apple Music are in specific .m4p format, are DRM protected, and can only be played on authorized devices using iTunes app or Music app. You cannot have Apple Music songs own, its offline listening feature only temporarily saves songs in the cloud and provided to subscribers. Once they cancel their subscription, these tracks will not be playable any more. Since Apple Music files are encrypted, it is difficult to convert Apple Music tracks to lossless WAV format for playback.
