5 Methods to Download All Apple Music Songs at Once

Part 1. Can You Download All Apple Music Songs at Once?

Apple Music lets users download songs, albums, and playlists for offline listening, but it has no universal one-click option to download an entire library.

For larger collections, ViWizard Apple Music Converter offers batch conversion to local audio files. Users can select multiple songs, albums, or playlists and convert them to MP3, WAV, FLAC, AIFF, M4A, or M4B. Unlike Apple Music's built-in downloads, ViWizard saves converted tracks as local files. Not every track is guaranteed to convert successfully, and users should follow applicable service terms and laws.

Part 2. How to Bulk Download Apple Music Songs as Audio Files

ViWizard Apple Music Converter lets users select multiple tracks from their Apple Music library, convert them to formats such as MP3, and save them to a computer.

Install the Windows or Mac version of ViWizard Apple Music Converter and log in with your Apple ID. Add tracks to the conversion list, choose an output format or keep Recommended, then start converting. ViWizard advertises no fixed track-selection limit and speeds of up to 20 times real-time. Test a few tracks and check the output files before converting a large collection.

You can organize files by playlist, album, or artist. ViWizard also supports retaining metadata such as titles, artists, album information, artwork, and lyrics. Converted files may remain accessible after your subscription changes, depending on conversion results and applicable restrictions.

Step 1: Install ViWizard and Sign In to Apple Music

Download and install ViWizard Apple Music Converter on your Windows PC or Mac, then open the app. On the main screen, use the built-in Apple Music web player to sign in with your Apple ID. Once signed in, your Apple Music library will load inside the interface, including songs, albums, and playlists, so you can start selecting content to convert.

Step 2: Choose Output Format and Audio Settings

Before selecting any music, go to the settings or preferences section inside ViWizard. Choose MP3 as the output format for widest device compatibility. You can also adjust audio quality options such as bit rate, sample rate, and channel settings depending on your needs. If you want to keep metadata organized, make sure options like album artwork, song info, or lyrics are enabled if available.

Step 3: Select Songs, Albums, or Playlists

Inside the ViWizard library view, browse your Apple Music content just like you would in a normal music app. Start by selecting a few playlists to test conversion and check output quality. Once you confirm everything works properly, you can expand your selection to include full playlists, albums, or your entire Apple Music library. Click the "+" or Add button to move selected items into the conversion list, then click Convert to begin processing your music into local files.

Step 4: Find and Use Your Converted Music Files

When conversion is finished, open the History tab inside ViWizard or go directly to the output folder set in your preferences. Your music will be saved as standard audio files without DRM protection, making them playable outside Apple Music. You can transfer files to your phone, copy them to a USB drive, or store them as a backup on your computer. All key metadata such as track names, album titles, and artwork will remain included, helping keep your library organized.

Part 3. How to Bulk Download Apple Music Songs for Offline Listening

For travel or areas without reliable internet, use Apple Music's built-in downloads. Although it has no universal bulk-download button, you can download albums and playlists from your library. To download a larger collection, create a playlist containing your library's songs and download it, where supported.

Before downloading, check your device's available storage and remove unused files or apps if needed. Enable Sync Library in Music settings to access your library and playlists across devices. However, Sync Library does not automatically download songs to each device, so download the music you need for offline listening in advance.

3.1Create a Playlist to Download All Songs in Your Library

Apple Music supports playlists as an option to group songs and download them together, usually more convenient on a computer. Go to the "Songs" section, press Ctrl + A to select all tracks, then add them to an "All-Songs Playlist." Once created, downloading it saves the entire collection in one action, treated by Apple Music as a single downloadable unit. This is simple for bulk downloads, though the 100,000-song library limit still applies.

01Open iTunes on Windows or open the Music app on Mac, then sign in with your Apple ID.

02In the left sidebar, click Songs under Library to view all tracks in your music collection.

03Select all songs in the list:

04Right-click or Control-click the selection, then choose Add to Playlist and select New Playlist.

05Wait for the playlist to be created, especially if your library is large.

06Go to Playlists in the left sidebar and open the new playlist that contains all songs.

07Click the download icon next to the playlist to download everything for offline listening, making sure your device has enough storage space.

3.2Use a Smart Playlist to Download All Songs in Your Library

Smart Playlists automatically organize songs based on set rules instead of manual selection. Filters can include artist, genre, or recently added tracks, and the playlist updates as the library changes. Once created, it can be downloaded like a normal playlist, keeping the offline collection aligned with those rules without frequent manual updates.

01Open iTunes on Windows or the Music app on Mac, then go to the top menu bar.

02Click File, choose New, then select Smart Playlist.

03Set rules to include all music in your library by selecting Music as the media kind with the rule "Time is greater than 00:00".

04Turn on Live Updating so the playlist automatically includes new songs added to your library.

05Click OK to create the Smart Playlist, then find it in the Playlists section of the sidebar.

06Open the playlist and click the download icon to save all songs offline, with automatic updates when your library changes.

3.3Use iOS Shortcuts to Add All Songs in Your Library to a Playlist

On iPhone and iPad, Apple's Shortcuts app can reduce manual steps in organizing music. A shortcut such as "Add Entire Library To Playlist" can gather all songs into one playlist automatically. After creation, the playlist can be downloaded for offline listening like any other playlist.

01Open Settings on your iPhone or iPad and make sure Apple Music is enabled with an active subscription.

02Open the Music app, go to Library, then tap Playlists and create a playlist named Full Library.

03Install or open the Shortcuts app on your device if it is not already installed.

04Add the shortcut Add Entire Library To Playlist, then open it inside the Shortcuts app.

05Run the shortcut and allow access to your Music library so it can add all songs automatically.

06Go back to the Music app and open the Full Library playlist, and wait if it is still populating.

07Tap the download icon in the top right corner to download all songs for offline use, making sure your device has enough storage space.

3.4Enable Automatic Downloads for New Songs Added to Your Library

Apple Music includes an Automatic Downloads option that keeps music available offline as new songs are added. In Music settings, enable "Automatic Downloads," and any new track added to the library will download in the background without manual action. It does not download the existing library at once, but helps the offline collection grow automatically over time.

On iPhone or iPad

01Open Settings, then tap Apps.

02Scroll down and select Music.

03Turn on Automatic Downloads so any song added to your library is saved automatically for offline listening.

On Mac

01Open the Music app, then click Music in the top menu bar.

02Go to Settings, then open the General or Downloads tab.

03Turn on Automatic Downloads to save new songs automatically.

Part 4. How to Fix Apple Music Downloads That Are Stuck or Incomplete

Apple Music downloads may stall because of network interruptions, insufficient storage, account or synchronization issues, or unavailable songs. Start with simple checks before trying more disruptive fixes.

• 

  Check your internet connection

  Unstable Wi-Fi or mobile data can interrupt downloads. Switch to a reliable connection and retry the affected tracks. This does not change your library or account settings, making it a good first step.

• 

  Check available storage

  Downloads require local device space, even when songs are stored in your cloud library. If storage is low, remove unused apps, files, or old downloads, then try again. This frees space without changing your Apple Music library.

• 

  Check Sync Library and your Apple Account

  If Sync Library is disabled or devices use different Apple Accounts, songs and playlists may not appear consistently. Ensure Sync Library is enabled and all devices use the same account. This can resolve library mismatches, but it does not automatically download every song for offline listening.

• 

  Check song availability

  Tracks may fail to download if they have been removed from the catalogue or are unavailable through your subscription or region. Try playing the song online or searching for it again. If only specific tracks fail, the issue may be their availability rather than your device; changing network settings or freeing storage will not restore unavailable content.

• 

  Retry failed downloads

  Temporary interruptions can leave downloads incomplete. After checking your connection, storage, and song availability, retry only the affected tracks instead of restarting your entire library. If the same songs keep failing, investigate account or synchronization issues before trying again.

• 

  Reset Sync Library as a last resort

  If songs remain missing across devices after simpler checks, turning Sync Library off and back on may refresh the connection. However, this can remove downloaded music from the affected device and trigger library resynchronization. It will not restore unavailable songs or free up storage, so use this fix only when necessary.

In most cases, start with your connection, storage, and affected tracks. Check account and synchronization settings next, and reset Sync Library only if simpler fixes fail. This approach helps identify the cause while minimizing unnecessary changes to your library.

Part 5. Apple Music Download Limits vs. ViWizard Apple Music Converter

Apple Music lets users store up to 100,000 songs in their cloud library, excluding songs and music videos purchased from the iTunes Store. Each cloud library file must be no larger than 200 MB. These are cloud library limits, not limits on how many songs you can download to your device.

Apple does not specify one fixed download limit for all subscribers. The number of songs you can download depends on your device's available storage and whether the music is still available. For example, if your iPhone has limited free space, you may need to download a few albums at a time rather than your entire library.

ViWizard Apple Music Converter supports batch conversion, allowing you to process multiple songs in one session. For example, you can add several playlists or albums to the conversion list instead of handling each track individually. The software does not state a fixed maximum number of songs per batch, but conversion performance and available computer storage may affect the process.

Part 6. Conclusion

Apple Music supports offline downloads of songs, albums, and playlists but does not document a universal one-click option for downloading an entire library. Sync Library provides cross-device access, while Automatic Downloads saves newly added music locally.

For local audio files, ViWizard Apple Music Converter offers batch conversion to formats such as MP3, WAV, and FLAC. Its results and features are subject to software limitations and applicable service terms and laws. Use Apple Music's built-in downloads for offline listening, or consider batch conversion avaialble with ViWizard Apple Music Converter to save them as local audio files.
