Part 2: How to Download Music from iTunes Library to PC (DRM-free)
Before we start, we recommend that you install the latest version of iTunes on your computer to make sure your work goes smoothly. Basically, iTunes allows you to download purchased music from iTunes to your computer. Here are the specific steps, please follow.

Step 1. Open iTunes and sign in, then select “iTunes Store“.
Step 2. Go to "Account" > "Purchased" at the top of the menu bar of the main interface and the songs you have purchased will be in sight.
Step 3. You can also choose to view “All”, or “Not in My Library” from which you are able to see the purchased songs not in your iTunes library.
Step 4. Select the Cloud icon next to the item or the “Download All” button located at the lower-right part of the screen to download the songs to your computer.
Maybe you have found that the downloaded music cannot be listened to on some unauthorized devices. Although iTunes had ditched the DRM protection for its songs since 2009, you cannot play the older purchased songs because they are encoded in a protected AAC format to prevent them from being converted. If you want to download iTunes Music to computer for playback, you should remove DRM from iTunes Music first.
