Purchased tracks (‘to buy’) from the iTunes Music Store are DRM-free since 2009, and should play elsewhere too.

Tracks from an Apple Music subscription, on the other hand, are DRM-protected and can’t be played outside the official ways. Apple Music tracks can be played through USB cord, or through Bluetooth, from iPhone to (car) stereo.
