Part 1. How Can You Enjoy Apple Music from Kodi Everywhere

Apple Music boasts that it supports to download and play over 35 millions songs everywhere from iOS, Android, Windows devices. But that is done in an really inconvenient way because the songs can only be accessible via iTunes or Apple Music app. Due to the DRM protection, even if you can move the M4P files elsewhere, you can't play them without authorization. Take Kodi for example, currently there is still no a public add on to enable users to transfer Apple Music out of Apple's ecosystem yet. Unless if you are a crazy coder, you may not want to develop such an add on by yourself.

So is there any alternatives now? Sure. DRmare Apple Music Converter is designed to encode Apple Music to common music files in an legal way. After that, you will get all your songs just like the ones you bought from iTunes without spending any money. More importantly, it is totally legal as long as you use it for personal use. Compared to other rival products, it stands out for its lossless sound quality. Sounds too good to be true? You can actually download the trial version to try it out by yourself.

Another brilliant way to do that is by dragging and dropping the M4P music files.

The digital media file formats supported by it are abundant such as AVI, MPEG, FLV, M4A, OGG, MP3, RA, RMVB, 3GP, VIVO and much more. Here I'd suggest you to choose "MP3". Just click the software icon from the bottom right, it will pop up the format selection and customization window.

Step 3Encode M4P Music for Kodi

Eventually, you can start converting Apple Music to Kodi legally by pressing the "Convert" button. DRmare software will convert these DRM-protected M4P files to non-DRM audio files by the recording technology. These audio files should be compatible with any devices such as NIVIDIA Shield, Amazon Fire TV, Raspberry Pi 3, Razer Forge TV and much more.
