Apple Music and Logic Pro X

I just recently got Apple Music and when I try to download/import the songs to Logic Pro X it does not seem to work. If you have an answer to why this may be please let me know 😀

Logic Pro X, iOS 10.0.2

Here is one reason, which is very, very useful as a working musician. I often pull a song into logic to rehearse along with the track...this allows me to use my different plug-ins to achieve the sound from the track, loop parts that I need to figure out and rehearse to the track. Often I get a set list from a band and have a week or so to learn the tunes...and rehearsing this way is the most intelligent and efficient way to learn the material....so...the bummer with Apple Music is that I already pay the 9.99 per month for the service...and then even if I download a track to a playlist I can't simply pull it into logic to rehearse to it.....

Maybe the reason it doesn't work is that Apple doesn't want you to get it to work.

Did you check the format of the audio file? Most likely there is some copy protection on that prevents it from importing to Logic. There are ways around it like with everything, but that would mean breaking the law, under Dgital Millennium Copyright Act, or some kind of legislation.


Hope that helps

I use tracks from CD's too to establish the basic tempo or sometimes sing along to make the basic vocal track. Then I delete the original CD audio and build my own guitar, drum, etc tracks on top of my vocals. Basically I'm building a cover song for my own amusement. You must "own" the audio however or Logic won't let you bring it in. So burn the song from a CD and put it in iTunes or somewhere where you can access the song from the Media library in Logic. If you own the media, you should have no trouble dragging and dropping.
