1. Transfer Music from iTunes to Google Play – DRM Music

This method only works for DRM music your purchase from iTunes Store. You cannot burn or rip Apple Music. Before you start, make sure you have DVD drive on your computer, and prepare a blank rewritable CD (CD-RW), which can be formatted and reused up to 1000 times. Otherwise, you will need lots of CD-Rs if you have a large library. A CD-RW is capable of storing 80 minutes of music, so you can burn dozens of songs, rip them, format the CD and repeat the burning until you rip all your desired songs. Here are detailed steps:

Step 1: Launch and sign in iTunes with your Apple ID that have iTunes purchase music. Then click "Songs" at the sidebar. If you cannot see a sidebar, click View> Show Sidebar.

Step 2: Create a playlist and drag songs that you want to burn to CD into this playlist. To do so, just right click below the Music Playlists and click "New Playlist". Then use "ctrl/command + click" to select songs that you purchased from iTunes store, and drag them into the newly created playlist.

• If you have a large library, you could make use of sorting by "kind" to quickly distinguish protected songs from other type such as Apple Music or uploaded. Right click on the bar above your songs list (where you see with Name, Artist, and Album), and click to check "Kind" and "iCloud Status".
• You can burn up to 70-75 minutes of songs to one CD-RW (though it might claim to be capable of 80 minutes). Make sure songs you drag into the waiting-to-be-burned playlist won't exceed that length.
• You cannot burn songs from Apple Music, i.e., songs made available to you on a subscription basis where you pay a monthly fee and have access to its entire library.

Step 3: Insert your CD into the drive to burn songs. Hit newly created playlist, and click the three-dot icon. In the drop-down menu, click "Burn Playlist to Disc". Make sure to check "Audio CD" in the pop-up window, click "Burn"

Step 4: When the burning is done, you shall be able to see the content on the CD and import music from CD to your library. iTunes convert music to AAC by default, if you want to have MP3 version, go to edit>preferences>general> import settings, and choose MP3 Encoder.

Step 5: Format the CD and repeat step 2-4 to burn another 70-some minute of songs and rip them into iTunes library.

Step 6: Select iTunes folder when you upload songs from local drive to Google Play Music.

• For Window users, go to C:\Users\Administrator\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Apple Music.
• For Mac users, go to Finder>Users folder>Your user name>Music folder>iTunes.
