Hi all
After playing with the desktop version of the service, located inside
iTunes 12.2 and later, for both Windows and Mac, I can confirm that each
and every song you download from the Apple Music library, not your
iCloud Music Library, has integrated copy protection. This can be
observed by a change in the filename extention which we will all have to
get used to; M4P. This is an iTunes protected file, hence the "p", and
can even consist of music videos, the file that is. So please, don't try
to share what you download, legal or otherwise, as it's not going to
work. Also, anything you download from the Apple Music library will
refuse to play once the trial or subscription expires, whatever comes
first. They will play again when you subscribe or re-subscribe whatever
is the case. And how do I know? Once you download from the Apple Music
library, it will be located in the following paths:
Windows: /users/username/music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Apple Music.
Mac: ~/music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Apple Music.
Apple has definitely gone about this the right way, and so they should
since they've been dealing with music since the introduction of the iPod
back in 2001.
