"I want to cancel my Apple Music subscription. Can I still listen to the downloaded Apple Music after canceling the subscription? If not, how can I keep Apple Music forever? Thank you."
In order to attract users to pay, Apple inc provides users with a free trial period of 3 months. After the trial period ends, you need to pay $9.9 per month to keep subscription active. After subscribing to Apple Music, you can listen to about 60 million ads-free songs in iTunes and download Apple Music for offline playback on Apple authorized devices.
Can you still listen to downloaded Apple music without subscribing?
If you unsubscribe from Apple Music, you will no longer have access to any music or playlists added from Apple Music. In addition, you can't play the downloaded Apple Music offline after canceling subscription. In other words, if you decide to stop subscribing, all Apple Music tracks will disappear even you have downloaded it and back up to computer.
Why can’t We Play Downloaded Apple music after Unsubscribed?
Like other competitor Spotify Music, Apple Inc. has also added DRM restrictions to its Apple Music songs to prevent them from being copied and transferred to non-Apple devices. We can only play Apple music played on authorized device, including iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple Watch, Apple TV, Mac, PC, Apple HomePod, Apple CarPlay, Android phone, Sonos and Amazon Echo device.
