# What is the Best Apple Music Converter?

There are hundreds of free or paid converters in the market claiming that they can convert almost all video and audio formats. Unfortunately, I must tell you that 99% of them will fail to convert Apple Music or iTunes music to MP3. That’s because all Apple music tracks are encrypted with Apple’s Fairplay DRM. In other words, M4P is not a common format.
