3. Bonus Tip: Save Apple Music after Unsubscription

When the Apple Music service is unsubscribed successfully, you'll still have access to the Apple Music until the end of the three-month trial or billing cycle. By that time, the music you previously downloaded for offline usage will no longer be accessible. Don't worry. The good news is that there's still turn-around to listen to Apple Music offline streams after unsubscription.

The most important thing you should be clear about is that the Apple Music songs are protected. If you want to access to Apple Music downloads when the subscription ends, you need to use ViWizard Audio Converter, a third-party software to convert the protected M4P Apple Music songs to common MP3, AAC, WAV, etc. You can refer to the tutorial below to see how to truly save Apple Music songs offline.
