Part 1. Can You Listen to Apple Music without a Subscription

As mentioned above, if you cancel your Apple Music subscription or your free trial ends, you will lose access to any music you've added from Apple Music. The main reason is that songs in Apple Music are protected and encoded in a special M4P format. This format is only accessible on authorized Apple devices using the Apple Music app or iTunes. So, to listen to Apple Music without subscription, you need to remove this protection and convert Apple Music to a common format like MP3.
