How to Get All Songs from Apple Music

But sometimes, it might be easier to download music to your phone, particularly if you’re going somewhere without a regular internet link. This is when your issues with Apple Music begin.

The process can be challenging if you’ve tried to download multiple music albums from Apple Music at once. You might have given up because of the effort. Instead, you want to tap the cloud icon only a few times to download each song separately.

You also can download all of the songs from Apple Music using various methods. Find out how to fix problems with Apple Music downloads in the following paragraphs.

How to Download All Songs in Apple Music on an iPhone

The first method requires only your phone and an internet link to download all of the songs from Apple Music to your iPhone.

What you have to do is:

1.  Flare up the Music app and go to “Library.”
   
2.  You’ll see “Songs,” “Albums,” and “Playlists” as choices. Choose either “Albums” or “Playlists” from the “Songs” menu to access individual tracks and download them one at a time.
   
3.  When you see an album or Playlist you want to download, there are two methods to do it:
   •  The foremost option is to press and hold the album or playlist’s name for a few seconds and then choose “Download” from the menu that appears.
     
   •  You can also open the album or Playlist you want to listen to. Then, next to the three dots icon, you’ll find the iCloud sign, which you can tap to download all of the songs in the album or Playlist.

This method will be faster than downloading songs one at a time. But if you have a bunch of albums in your library, it could still take a long time. To add to your frustration, you might need help with your data connection, and your iPhone might run out of battery power based on how much music you want to download.

Using a shortcut is another option to download music to your iPhone. This choice is faster if you still need a playlist of songs you want to download. What you should do is:

1.  Extend the Shortcuts app on your iPhone, and in the bottom, right area, click on Gallery.
   
2.  In the search box at the shelter, type “Top.” We’re looking for a quick way to get to the Top 25 Playlist.
   
3.  Add a link to the Top 25 Playlist. Then get it open.
   
4.  Set your options. Boost the number of songs you want to download. This may take a while.
   
5.  Tap on your Playlist in the Music app.
   
6.  Dab the three dots in the top right corner of the screen.
   
7.  Click “Download.”
   

All of your songs will be downloaded for you. The only problem with this method is increasing the numeral of songs you want to download in step 4. But it’s better than putting songs one by one into a playlist.

5.  Under the “Match for the following rule” line, there will be three options. You’ll need to put the right number in each one to move on.
6.  The first will be a menu that drops down. Pick “Time” for that box’s number.
   
7.  In the next box with a drop-down menu, choose “is greater than.” When you fill out these two boxes as instructed, the songs you add will be sorted by length, which you’ll specify in the third box.

9.  De-select the “Limit to” option.
   
10.  To ensure that even the newest songs are added to the Playlist, “Live to update” is checked. Then, just press the “OK” button.
