Part 1. Should We Cancel Apple Music Subscription?

Before making the decision to unsubscribe from Apple Music, it’s important to evaluate your usage and needs. In this section, we’ll discuss some valid reasons why you might want to cancel:

1. Cost: Apple Music charges a monthly fee, and you might find it too expensive, especially if you're not using it often enough.
2. Alternatives: There are other music streaming services like Spotify, Amazon Music, or YouTube Music that might offer better value, different features, or a music catalog that suits you better.
3. Infrequent Use: If you’re not listening to music that often, the subscription may not be worth the investment.
4. Storage: Apple Music downloads can take up space on your device, which may become a concern if you have limited storage.

Ultimately, whether or not to cancel depends on your usage, preferences, and budget. Take a moment to weigh the pros and cons based on your personal music needs.

Part 2. Back Up Music Before Canceling Apple Music Subscription

Unsubscribing is a relatively straightforward process, but it’s important to ensure that you’ve backed up any downloaded music or playlists before you unsubscribe from Apple Music. If you’ve downloaded music for offline listening, canceling your subscription will result in the loss of access to those songs. On the other hand, you can't transfer these downloaded songs on non-Apple devices for playing because Apple Music uses DRM (digital rights management) technology to protect the music content in its library.
