Purchase songs on Apple Music

Hey guys,

I am very curious about Apple Music. If you subscribe into it, and listen million of musics, but when the subscription over, you will lost all of your playlist, downloaded music(s) and etc. Right?

But, what happen to your music(s) when you purchase a single song or album? Does it last forever? Or after several months it will dissapear?

Cause there are a bunch of songs I love on Apple Music and it is a waste if I just subscribe but only listen to a few songs, right?

Thank you about answering my question there.

iPhone SE, iOS 14

Hello Sako177,


Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities!


We see that you are wondering about Apple Music versus iTunes purchased music.

We’d be happy to help you!


With Apple Music the downloaded music and playlists are only accessible when you are subscribed. 


With iTunes, you can purchase individual songs and you do not have to subscribe to listen to them. You can follow the steps in Buy music from the iTunes Store.


You can use both Apple Music and iTunes purchased music together as well.


Take care.
