"Apple Music supports SD cards on Android. What about iPhone? I have an iPhone with 16GB memory and wondering whether there is a way to download my Apple Music to an SD card so I can run my apps normally. Is there any method to do that?"
Apple updated its Apple Music app for Android users in 2016, adding a new feature that allows them to save downloaded songs to an SD card on compatible smartphones, but not for iOS users. In this way, it seems that Android users can potentially have access to more music than iOS users who are limited to a maximum of 128GB of storage on iPhones and iPads. But actually, iOS users can also move Apple Music to SD card.
This tutorial is going to show you a particular method to copy and transfer your Apple Music to an SD card for both iOS and Android users besides the regular way to save Apple Music to SD card by the Apple updated feature. The whole article will be divided into two parts. The first part is for Android users only, and the second part is suitable for both iOS and Android users.
Here is a detailed guide on how to save Apple Music to SD card, benefiting by the updated feature of Apple Music App for Android.
Step 1 Launch Apple Music and tap menu icon at the upper left corner > click on "Settings".
Step 2 Click "Download Location" option below the "Download on Wi-Fi", then click "Yes" on the pop-up window to select SD card from the list you want to save.
Step 3 Accept the prompt when asked if you want to move all of your currently downloaded music, along with any future music to your SD card.
As we all know, Apple Music is a streaming music service offering protected songs, for which we are limited to listen to Apple Music tracks on iTunes or with Apple Music App. But the following part is going to break it through and get rid of its' limitation.
The default setting of Apple Music is to be downloaded to iOS devices, and it’s impossible for iOS users to directly save Apple Music to SD Card. But we may seek for an "agency" to achieve it and the most amazing thing is that the "agency" will not only copy our Apple Music to SD Card, but also enable us to play Apple Music offline with our default media player, which is also suitable for Android users.
NoteBurner Apple Music Converter, a professional converter for Apple Music, Audiobook as well as iTunes M4P music, is the perfect "agency" that we mentioned above. It can convert Apple songs to common formats (MP3/ FLAC/ AAC /WAV / AIFF / ALAC).
