Part 1. Why Can't You Add Apple Music to InShot Directly?

Apple Music is a streaming music service with more than 70 million songs to offer its subscribers. You will have no trouble finding the tune that meets your needs from it. Its membership services provide a variety of valuable features, such as the ability to stream songs from across the globe or to jam out to Beats 1.

On the other hand, Apple Music has also several significant limitations. That is, all music from Apple Music has protection, which prevents you from transferring songs downloaded from Apple Music to another location.

Consequently, InShot Video Editor will not allow you to import Apple Music tracks from the streaming library. Moreover, the Apple Music format is not supported by Inshot. In a nutshell, you cannot add Apple Music to InShot directly because of format and compatibility issues.

Part 2. What You Will Need to Import Apple Music in InShot

It's true, all Apple Music tracks are subject to protected restrictions. However, this does not mean songs from Apple Music cannot be added to your InShot video. Fortunately, there are apps that let you enjoy Apple Music on other apps.

AudFree Audio Converter is a popular Apple Music application that allows you to remove the protection from Apple Music tracks and convert them to InShot-supported audio, including MP3, WAV, M4A, and AAC. Afterward, you can utilize the songs from your Apple Music library as the background music for your videos in the InShot Video Editor.
