Apple Music is one of the most excellent music streaming services available.
While Spotify is the market leader, Apple Music is gaining popularity year after year and has the added benefit of having no ads even when using a free Apple Music trial.
The music industry has been completely transformed as a result of music streaming. CDs are almost never purchased anymore, and digital downloads are also declining as more people embrace streaming. However, one significant disadvantage of music streaming is that if you don’t have an internet connection, you may be unable to access all of your music.
As a result, Apple Music allows you to download songs and albums directly to your device. They don’t require an internet connection to play because they are downloaded to your device. This ensures that you can listen to the downloaded songs even if you are on a plane or in an area with no signal.
We’ve detailed all of the steps for downloading Apple Music for offline listening below.
Download a single song from Apple Music to listen to later.
Launch the Apple Music application.
Search the Apple Music app for the song you want. This can be accomplished by browsing the “Listen Now” page or by going to the Search page and entering the exact name of the song you want to download.
When you’ve found the album that contains the song, tap on its album cover. Alternatively, if you searched for the song directly, tap on the song in the search results.
Look for the song you want to download in the album, then tap the three dots (…) next to the song’s name.
Tap Download from the popup menu that appears.
The download of such song has now begun. When it’s finished, open the Apple Music app and navigate to Library>Downloaded to find the downloaded song.
