How to Play Apple Music on Winamp

Winamp Music Player, first released in 1997and with a 20 more years history, is one of the first widely used music players in the world. The development history of Winamp parallels the developing trend of MP3 file sharing. The mention of Winamp brings about waves of nostalgia for those who have used Winamp to replace iTunes or Windows Media Player back then.

Winamp stopped updating in 2013 until last year it announced a revival, which came with both desktop and Android mobile application. The Winamp 5.8 has already leaked and the fully revamped version 6 will be released later this year. There are still many fans looking forward to it. It is said that the new app can integrate with Apple Music. You can use an M4P plugin to achieve that but that will require you to maintain your subscription to the Apple Music and you can only stream them when you are online.

So, if you want to play Apple Music on Winamp offline, choosing an Apple Music Converter is obviously a better idea. ViWizard DRM Audio Converter can help you remove DRM from Apple Music songs and convert them to Winamp supported formats so that you can stream them on Winamp or elsewhere whenever you want.

How To Stream Apple Music To Winamp

Following passages will show you how to transfer Apple Music songs to the Winamp Music Player.

Step 1 Add Apple Music to ViWizard DRM Audio Converter

First, download and install ViWizard DRM Audio Converter from the above link. Make sure that Apple Music can work well on your computer. Launch ViWizard and then add the Apple Music songs to the interface by clicking the "Add" button. There are two "Add" buttons, to convert Apple Music you should go for the second one (the Music Note icon) on the top of the window. The first "Add" button is for importing non-DRM audio files.

Step 2Customize Audio Output Settings

After the songs successfully loaded to the converter, click the "Format" panel at the left bottom of the surface and choose an output format from the pop-up window. Winamp supports MP3, MIDI, MOD, MPEG-1 audio layers 1 and 2, AAC, M4A, FLAC, WAV, and WMA. So we suggest you select MP3 and click "OK" to confirm the setting.

Step 3Convert the Apple Music songs to MP3

Next, simply press "Convert" and wait for a few seconds. When the converting process is done, the converted songs will be saved to your local folder. You can open the "Converted" catalog and locate their destination.

Step 4Import Apple Music to Winamp

Install and launch Winamp Media Player (here we take the version 5.8 as an example). Then a window will pop up, follow the instruction and click "Add Media to Library". Choose the folder you save the converted songs and confirm. Once all the songs are imported to the Winamp, you can start to enjoy the playback freely.

The Final Thought

No matter you are a new user or an old user, Winamp 6.0 still on the way and worth expecting. Meanwhile, the converted songs not only can be played on Winamp but also can be put in your car, your wearable devices. So ViWizard really makes things convenient!
