By saving the Apple Music tracks as completely new MP3 files, you will be able to get rid of the DRM limitation and keep the downloaded Apple Music for as long as you like. What’s more, you can enjoy the downloaded Apple Music on any device you like including Android tablet, MP3 players, Xbox, Sony PSP, etc. Steps on Downloading and Converting Apple Music to MP3: Step 1.
