How to Play Apple Music on Clementine Music Player?

To play Apple Music on the Clementine music player, you should first resort to the DRM removal tool. Because all Apple music songs are DRM-encoded M4P files, users are prevented from copying songs to other devices without permission. Due to DRM, only Apple Music subscribers are given the right to listen to the music offline. Once the membership is over, all downloaded Apple music songs will not be available.

UkeySoft Apple Music Converter is designed to break this limitation. It's great for freely loading all downloaded Apple Music tracks, playlists and iTunes music for batch conversion. You only need to select the tracks you want to convert. UkeySoft Apple Music Converter is able to remove DRM from these songs and convert them into unprotected audio formats including MP3, M4A, AAC, etc. It not only retains the original ID3 tags and metadata. The output audio file also allows you to adjust audio output settings and parameters such as codec, bit rate, channel, sample rate, volume, pitch and more. After conversion, you can stream Apple Music MP3 files to Clementine Music Player.
