If your music library is built with hundreds of thousands MP3 songs, it will be easy for you to transfer and play them on just any device you like, such as iPhone 7, iPad, iPod, Samsung Galaxy S8, etc. However, if you have a large collection of Apple Music songs which is formatted as protected M4P, it’s quite hard to transfer them to other devices (specifically non-Apple devices) for enjoying like MP3 player or burn to CD for playing in the car. So it makes sense why people are asking questions like:
- I have an iPod nano, and I’ve got everything set up before copying the M4P files from my Mac to the iPod. But when I sync the Apple Music to iPod nano, it says I cannot copy the songs to iPod!
- I'm trying to add Apple Music songs into my PPT presentation as the background music, but it seems like a huge hassle because of Apple Music’s M4P format.
The best solution to fix the above issues it to convert M4P files to MP3, which is supported by almost all media devices and software.
