Downloading music you purchase off iTunes

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:

Redownload apps, music, movies, TV shows, and books - Apple Support

Ansmith,

If you are on a Mac running Music, preferences will be under Music, like the below. If still stuck, post a screenshot.

Yes it will work in iTunes too. Just find the Preferences, and from there put Import Settings to MP3.

Click "Import Settings..." -- it is near the bottom, after the Notifications.
