Apple music files converting

Hi

How are you?

I've tried to follow the guide of converting apple music files but without success.

I have a PC, and after taking all the steps I received the error:

None of the selected files were converted because they could not be found.


Can you help me with that please?


Thanks


Adi

If they are downloads from the Apple Music subscription service they have copy protection and cannot be converted. You should be able to convert purchased files.
