how download full albums from apple music?

Hi, I need to download a few albums from apple music. All sites that I have seen only grab one song, and limit you after 3 songs or something, so grabbing full a album at once would be nice.

I dont have any subscription

Thanks for any help :)

Why does it have to be Apple Music?
- Exactly, why not just get the album from another source?
  
  slsk is still top dog when it comes to music IMO
- Because the album is there (amazon music and apple music), I havent found it in another place.
  
  Try 7digital or qobuz, if not them, then prostudiomasters or ototoy. One of those is bound to have it.
  
  Amazon is easier to get the music from as long as you don’t have a subscription to their streaming service. Apple has a lot of hoops you need to jump through. See my comment in the root thread.
You’ll need a Windows or Mac computer with the iTunes software (NOT WEB), a CD burner and at least one blank CD. You also can’t have an Apple streaming subscription.
Once you’ve met the prerequisites, buy the album, download it to your computer using the iTunes software and burn it to a CD using the iTunes software. From there, rip the newly minted CD to whatever format you fancy.
That’s been the work flow since the beginning of iTunes and should still work. Admittedly, I haven’t tested it in more than 10 years.
As far as I know there isn’t a bypass available. Haven’t checked in a while though.
You may be able to simulate burning to a CD and burn to .iso instead, but I haven’t done that since Windows XP, so you’re on your own there.
Edit: forgot to add that you have to use the iTunes software to burn the CD.
- That's hilarious. Allows you to burn it. Doesn't allow you to just directly download it.
