You can! own it! Listen to it streaming. If you like it, buy it!
How hard's that to grasp. Once you buy it, burn it! Do whatever, it's
your's!

Subject: Re: Downloading from Apple Music library
I just have to agree with this post. I would also add that if you want to
keep your access to this music, Apple now owns you. Personally, I don't
want to be owned by any large corporation. Though right now I can't imagine
abandoning Apple products in favor of anything else, seven years ago I would
have said I'd never own a Mac. so things do change. And if that day ever
comes, I want my music to migrate with me. I'd rather just own the music
myself. Then I can take it wherever I want and use it in the way that best
suits my needs.
Cheers,
Donna

DRM is evil. Apple DRM is no exception, even if they’ve probably invented
the least annoying kind of DRM there is, it’s still DRM and it still
restricts you, all in the name of artificial market differentiation.
Which is wrong, and evil.
As to Apple Music, I can see myself using it for discovery, but I’ll never
allow my library to become tainted with the content. It’s just too great
a risk, for me and I think for others; if streaming becomes popular and
therefore exclusive, music ownership will be lost forever. Also, it’s
fairly well known that streaming and rentals don’t help artists nearly as
much as purchases, because there’s fierce competition on the margins and
of course the listening tastes of listeners are not nearly as uniform as
one might hope for the artists.
So, yes, very awesome, but let’s not forget what this is about: you’re
paying for a closed service that will end when you stop paying for it.
Online or offline, indistinguishable from the real thing or not, the
service is either a way for you to stay locked in, or a way for you to
purchase songs. And it’s all thanks to DRM. I’d have hoped for a
thousand other different models that reconciled reality with market
desires, perhaps involving lossless formats or automatic purchases of
offline downloads, but there it is. Please don’t fall into the trap of
thinking you own anything you listen to on Apple Music.
