What happens if you unsubscribe from Apple Music?

A commonly asked question: "If I cancel Apple Music subscription will I lose my music?". Here is the exact answer: If you unsubscribe from Apple Music, you are no longer able to play any streaming music you've added or downloaded to your library from the Apple Music catalog.

Do Apple Music downloads expire? Unfortunately, yes, they will be disabled when the subscription comes to an end.

Why does this happen? Obviously, Apple has added protection to all its tracks to avoid the situation that users just sign up and download a bunch of songs for offline listening, then cancel the subscription and run away.

How to Keep Apple Music Forever Even After Unsubscribing

As mentioned above, Apple Music streams are encrypted, which restricts you from listening to downloaded Apple Music tracks after canceling the subscription. To keep your downloaded Apple Music songs forever on your iPhone, iPad, Mac, or other devices, you should learn how to record Apple Music songs.
