How to Download Music from Apple Music to Shokz OpenSwim

Part 1. Why Can't You Use Shokz OpenSwim with Apple Music Directly?

Shokz OpenSwim and OpenSwim Pro are designed specifically for underwater use. While the OpenSwim Pro supports Bluetooth, Bluetooth signals don't work underwater. Therefore, for swimming, both the OpenSwim and OpenSwim Pro function identically: as self-contained MP3 players that rely on local storage instead of streaming.

When you use the MP3 mode on Shokz OpenSwin, it requires standard audio files like MP3, WAV, FLAC, or AAC. However, Apple Music tracks are protected by Digital Rights Management (DRM) and saved in M4P format. They cannot be moved to and played on third-party devices like the Shokz OpenSwim MP3 players.

Part 2. How to Download Apple Music to Shokz OpenSwim/OpenSwim Pro

To add Apple Music to Shokz OpenSwim, you'll have to get around Apple's DRM restrictions and convert your Apple Music tracks into an unprotected format like MP3, WAV, or FLAC. This is where a third-party tool like DRmare Apple Music Converter comes in. It is a powerful software designed to remove DRM protection and convert Apple Music, iTunes songs, and audiobooks into various standard formats that are compatible with devices like the Shokz OpenSwim.

The software boasts a fast conversion speed, often up to 30 times faster than other methods. It is also designed to preserve 100% of the original audio quality during the conversion process. Therefore, you can play your Apple Music with the same clarity and richness as the original on Shokz OpenSwim Pro.
