Can you use “Apple Music” downloads for sequences?
« on: October 07, 2019, 06:59:07 AM »
Hello everyone!
I probably know the answer to my question before I even ask,
But, does anyone know if you can use “Apple Music” downloads
for sequences? I pay a monthly fee for Apple Music via my IPhone,
So I am paying for the music, but I’m betting there is a “DRM” encoding
(Digital Rights) that may prevent this. It makes finding music files much
easier.
Please let me know if there is a way to use this service to my advantage.

Can't you just try it?

Well, I’m at work currently and I was simply hoping one
of the “Seasoned veterans” here may have the answer.
I’ll see if it can be done when I return home this afternoon.
Thanks!

I use iTunes and they don't add DRM anymore.  I assume Apple Music is a streaming service so I would suspect you don't own those songs.  Do they have an option to buy a song?  It's only like $1.29 a song in iTunes.

IMHO, use the music from anywhere you can get it.  Free is good.  No One is going to bust you for using a song in your Christmas Light Show.  8)

The m4a's from iTunes purchases are fine.   The m4p's form Apple Music are DRM encrypted and won't work.
