I struggled with this issue for weeks. Today, I went into the app's info screen and it turned out that the storage permission was not enabled so I enabled it and rebooted the phone (Clearing the app from recents screen did not work). This fixed the problem.

It never occurred to me to check the permissions because the app is supposed to request for the necessary permissions and considering music downloads was working before.

Steps to resolve in my case (worked for both me and the wife on 9.0 android one devices).


1 - download Apple music 2.7 beta from APK mirror and install

2 - go to settings / apps / Apple music

3 - go to storage and clear cache (only cache)

4 - reboot phone


Worked for both of us and allowed downloading to internal or SD. Worth noting that both our phones already had storage permission enabled, make sure this is on as well!
