When it comes to growth rate, the undisputed king of on-demand streaming music is Apple Music. Apple Music, known for its high-level exclusive releases and full integration into Apple's popular iOS ecosystem, has shown impressive growth in listenership since its inception. Recently, Apple CEO Tim Cook announced that Apple Music now has more than 88 million users. These numbers are quite impressive, especially considering the service only launched three years ago. As the subscribers grow, so does the size of its music library. Now, Apple Music allows users to access around 100 million tracks instantly, for a set monthly fee. And music can be downloaded onto their computer, iOS devices and Android devices for offline listening, as well as streamed from the cloud.
However, same with Spotify, Apple also inserts DRM protection to all its music to protect copyrighted works from being copyed and shared without authorization, allowing only selected devices to play the content. Moreover, all Apple Music streams will become inoperable once the subscription is canceled. In other words, you don't really own the music even though you already paid monthly. So now comes the question, how to make the Apple Music songs really yours? Or is there any way to convert Apple Music songs to DRM-free format like MP3?
