“All the ways you love music, all in one place.” That refers to Apple Music, a music streaming service launched by Apple Inc. in 2015. Apple Music is a rental service. By subscribing, you have access to 45 million of songs for free enjoyment and the ability to download for offline listening in case you have no internet connections. Have you ever thought “What will happen if you unsubscribe from Apple Music?”?

When the Apple Music membership has expired, you have no access to the Apple Music songs any longer. So how to play the Apple Music tracks after cancelling the subscription? That’s what this article comes to discuss.
What happens if canceling the Apple Music subscription?
“I can’t seem to play any songs that I had stored on my phone. Apparently everything was uploaded to iCloud and when I tap on a song to play I get a popup saying “Your Apple Music membership has expired”. I can’t even make the songs available offline.”
You will face the same problem when unsubscribing Apple Music. The music you previously downloaded for offline usage will no longer be accessible. And even you are under subscription, you are unable to save the Apple Music songs as the way you like. That is because you do not own such songs – they are still rented and when the subscription expires, so do they.
You can download tracks on Apple Music for offline listening when Internet access is limited or you don’t subscribe a data plan. Those downloads are DRM protected, which means you have limited access to them, you cannot transfer them to other devices, burn Apple Music to CD, you cannot convert them in other formats unless you have an Apple Music Converter. Please also note that the DRM technology Apple Music adopted occasionally deletes original music from a user’s hard drive and replaces it with DRM protected versions.
