Hi, I need to download a few albums from apple music. All sites that I have seen only grab one song, and limit you after 3 songs or something, so grabbing full a album at once would be nice.

I dont have any subscription

Thanks for any help :)

You’ll need a Windows or Mac computer with the iTunes software (NOT WEB), a CD burner and at least one blank CD. You also can’t have an Apple streaming subscription.

Once you’ve met the prerequisites, buy the album, download it to your computer using the iTunes software and burn it to a CD using the iTunes software. From there, rip the newly minted CD to whatever format you fancy.

That’s been the work flow since the beginning of iTunes and should still work. Admittedly, I haven’t tested it in more than 10 years.

As far as I know there isn’t a bypass available. Haven’t checked in a while though.

You may be able to simulate burning to a CD and burn to .iso instead, but I haven’t done that since Windows XP, so you’re on your own there.

Edit: forgot to add that you have to use the iTunes software to burn the CD.

That's hilarious. Allows you to burn it. Doesn't allow you to just directly download it.

This is nonsense. If you buy music on iTunes it is DRM-free and has been since the late 2000s.

I use telegram bot @GlomaticoPinkMusicBot , it allows to download entire albums without apple music subscription

This is an absolute gem, mate. Cheers!

Does this work in the browser or do you need to install something? I have never used telegram bots

It’s very easy.

Go to the Apple Music app on your iPhone, find the album, and copy the link. Then, go to Telegram, type the name of the bot, and paste the link. The bot will automatically download the album for you, and you can save it in your Files app.
