How to Add Apple Music to CapCut [Updated]

Part 1. Why CapCut Couldn't Export iTunes Music and Apple Music

CapCut does not support exporting iTunes music or Apple Music due to format incompatibility and DRM protection. While CapCut allows users to import their own music files for video editing, it only accepts unprotected audio formats such as MP3, WAV, and WMA.

For Apple Music Files

Apple Music songs are stored in M4P format, which is encrypted with Digital Rights Management (DRM). This prevents unauthorized copying and playback on non-Apple devices or apps like CapCut. Even if you download songs from Apple Music to your device, they cannot be added to CapCut because they remain locked under Apple's DRM protection.

For iTunes Music

More recent iTunes purchases are DRM-free and can be imported to CapCut after re-downloading them in an unprotected format. However, older iTunes-purchased songs were also protected by DRM, making them incompatible with CapCut.
