Many people like myself work jobs where they spend extended periods without internet/data access, and most music streaming platforms remove your downloaded content after 30 days to prevent people from cancelling and continuing to have access to the content long term. Does Apple Music have a workaround to continue to listen to downloaded music offline for 60+ days? Thank you
iPhone 5s, iOS 11
No, otherwise people would just download, let their subscriptions cancel, and keep on listening to what they downloaded. You need to periodically connect to the Internet so Music can check in with Apple as to your account status.

Thanks. I understand how that makes sense to prevent people taking advantage, but it’s a bummer that subscription-based services like Apple Music are made unavailable to paying customers who find themselves in this legitimate situation year after year. Apart from purchasing music song by song and album by album, are you aware of any other means or services that allow you to enjoy music offline for more than 30 days?
I am not familiar with one but neither have I looked for one.
I understand your situation since I used to do field work where I would often be in the middle of nowhere. I just amassed a good collection of CDs and tapes (yes, that long ago).
