Apple Music & DRM: Everything You Need to Know

Like other Apple products, Apple Music streaming service is protected by the DRM (digital rights management), because of which, we can only play Apple Music songs on selected devices which support Apple Music app, including iOS and Android phones. It also requires account authorization of Apple Music subscription on up to 5 devices only. What's worse, we can only burn the Apple Music tracks to CD once due to DRM. If we however unsubscribe the service someday, all the downloaded songs would disappear from iTunes library.

Therefore, a smart Apple Music DRM removal tool like AudFree Apple Music Converter would be highly required in order to get rid of those restrictions once and for all. Why not download it for free to test it by yourself?
