- Nov 04, 2019 Yes, in a very non-Apple sort of move, you can remove both the iTunes Store and Apple Music categories from the macOS Music app. Even better, it’s easy as hell. #1: Open the macOS Music.
- Jun 04, 2019 Apple is not turning Apple Music into a streaming-only experience. For the most part, the end of iTunes seems to be an end in name only: key features will be retained in the Music app.
- Sep 29, 2019 That is very easy to turn Apple Music song free. No jailbreak needed. Just several steps to download Apple Music to your Mac. Step 1 Import DRM M4P tracks In order to convert the DRM songs, you need to download them to your local computer with the membership subscription first.
As you may have heard, iTunes has split up into three distinct apps in macOS Catalina, Music, Podcasts, and Apple TV. If you don't subscribe to Apple Music, or at the very least don't like to use it on your Mac, you might be wondering whether Apple has taken the opportunity to shove Apple Music into every nook and cranny in the new Music app.
As we all know, Apple Music is a popular streaming music service, for which all the songs on Apple Music are protected. We can only get access to Apple Music's entire catalogue by applying the three-month free trial, or by subscribing to its service. Once we cancel the subscription of Apple Music, we will lose access to the whole iTunes library.
Thankfully, while Apple Music is more prominent (and frankly, a lot more functional) than it ever was in iTunes, you're not compelled to use it in the app. You can hide the Apple Music sections of the app, For You, Browse, and Radio, leaving you with only library navigation and playlists in the sidebar.
How to hide Apple Music in the Music app on your Mac
Hiding Apple Music in Music only takes a trip to the app's settings panel.
- Open Music on your Mac.
- Click Music in the Menu bar.
- Click Preferences…
- Click Restrictions.
- Click the checkbox next to Apple Music in the Disable section.
- Click OK. The Apple Music sections, For You, Browse, and Radio, will disappear from the sidebar and you won't be able to access them.
Interestingly, disabling Apple Music in the Music app doesn't prevent you from using it entirely. You'll still have access to any Apple Music tracks and albums that you've previously added to your library, as well as any Apple Music playlists that you've created or to which you are subscribed. This is likely because your iTunes account is still tied to Apple Music.
How to show the iTunes Store in the Music app on Mac
By default, the Music app on macOS Catalina doesn't show the iTunes Music Store, at least if you're an Apple Music subscriber. But if you've elected to hide Apple Music, maybe even discontinue your subscription, you can still get new music through the iTunes Store. You just need to reveal it first.
- Open Music on your Mac.
- Click View.
- Click Preferences…
- Under General, click the checkbox next to iTunes Store.
- Click OK. The iTunes Store will appear in the sidebar.
And you're good to go. The iTunes Store will pop up in the sidebar of Music, in between your library and your playlists. You can peruse the store at your leisure. Fun note: The music store, which previously stuck to an all-white background no matter which theme you were using on macOS, now has its own dark theme to match that of the system.
