How to Cancel Apple Music Subscription Wisely

Part 1. What You Must Know Before Cancelling Apple Music

Before you decide to cancel your Apple Music subscription, there are some important things you need to understand. Many people think about cancelling because the monthly fees can add up, or maybe they've found another music service that fits their needs better. Whatever your reason, it's crucial to know what cancelling your Apple Music subscription really means, especially when it comes to your music library.

When you cancel your Apple Music subscription, you will lose access to the entire digital music catalog that Apple Music offers. This might seem obvious - you stop paying, so you stop getting access. But what many people don't realize is that you will also lose everything in your personal music library. All the songs, albums, and playlists you've spent years building will be gone. Your carefully curated playlists, favorite albums, and even the songs you've downloaded for offline listening - everything will disappear once your subscription ends.

In the end, the decision to cancel is entirely yours. But make sure you fully understand the consequences - losing your music library can feel like losing a part of yourself. If you value your music collection, take the necessary steps like using ViWizard Apple Music Converter to protect it before you say goodbye to Apple Music.

Part 2. How to Cancel Apple Music Subscription

It's important to know how to cancel your Apple Music subscription across various devices because it's a significant decision, whether you're using an iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows computer, or even the web.

There are a few key details you should be aware of. For example, if you're part of a Family subscription, only the group organizer - the person who set up Family Sharing - can cancel the subscription. So if you're a family member who wants to cancel, you'll need to ask the organizer to do it for you. Likewise, if you have a Student subscription, canceling it might end other student-related exclusives, like the Apple TV+ with no extra fee, so make sure you're prepared for that.

You'll retain access to Apple Music until the end of your current billing cycle, even after canceling. Use this time to back up any playlists or albums that are important to you.

Part 3. How to Change Apple Music Subscription

Sometimes, instead of canceling, you might decide that changing your Apple Music subscription is a better option. Whether you're looking to downgrade to a cheaper plan, upgrade to a Family subscription, or switch to a Student subscription, Apple Music offers flexibility in managing your plan.

For example, if you're a student, you might be eligible for a discounted subscription through UNiDAYS. This option allows you to keep Apple Music for half the price of an Individual plan, plus you get access to Apple TV+ at no extra cost. This discount is available for up to 48 months.

Part 4. How to Keep Apple Music Forever for Backup

When the Apple Music service is unsubscribed successfully, you'll still have access to the Apple Music until the end of the three-month trial or billing cycle. By that time, the music you previously downloaded for offline usage will no longer be accessible. Don't worry. The good news is that there's still turn-around to listen to Apple Music offline streams after unsubscription.

The most important thing you should be clear about is that the Apple Music songs are protected. If you want to access to Apple Music downloads when the subscription ends, you need to use ViWizard Apple Music Converter, a third-party software to convert the protected M4P Apple Music songs to common MP3, AAC, WAV, etc. You can refer to the tutorial below to see how to truly save Apple Music songs offline.
