Downloading music you purchase off iTunes

Hello,

I am trying to download music I purchased off iTunes to add to a folder on my laptop. How exactly do I download the music I purchased and place it on my macbook?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.14

Normally when you purchase a track from the iTunes Store, it immediately gets added to your library and downloaded to your Media folder.


If you want to see where it is, perhaps to make a copy, just right-click the track in the library and choose Show in Finder (or Explorer).

Ansmith,


You can use iTunes/Music to make an MP3 per these steps:

Convert a song to a different file format with the Apple Music app or iTunes for Windows – Apple Support


Note that the conversion creates a new MP3 and leaves the AAC in place, so you end up with two files. Make sure you grab the right one.

Ginzo,

Usually a copy downloads when you make the purchase. If you need a fresh copy, of something in your purchase history, see in here:
