    No, if you have paid for a subscription to Apple Music, then you can "download" (really, it's just saving for offline) all music without any additional fees. The idea of Apple Music is that you can pay a monthly fee to access millions of songs (for free).

    @nat's mac So even if I am using the free trial it's included? And what happens if I end my subscription? Are all the songs removed?

    Yes. The free trial gives all the benefits of a real subscription to Apple Music. You just have to remember to turn off auto-renew so it doesn't charge you after the trial is over if you don't want to start a subscription.

    And if the subscription ends, yes, all the songs are removed (or when you try to play them it might say something like "unable to play").
