  @MrHenko If you’ve got them on your computer (Mac or PC) you can simply copy them out of the file system like any files. If you haven’t already got them on the computer, you should be able to download them into Apple Music (Mac) or iTunes (PC) from the iTunes Store. Just follow the “Purchased” link in the store.

  @artkavanagh Thanks for a quick and correct reply 👍🏻!

  I was trying before that but I ended up with .movpkg-files on my hard drive. When I read your reply I realized that I was on the right track (pun not intended) but that some kind of setting or other was wrong. It turned out to be that I had set downloads to be lossless. Changing to 256 AAC solved the problem.

  @MrHenko Are they not AAC already? That’s typically the default format for iTunes, is it not? You can right click the track to reveal their location in your finder/file explorer (I don’t know if you’re on Mac or Windows).

  @MrHenko Ah, yes, lossless. I hadn’t thought of that. I’ve never bothered with lossless: even when my ears were a lot sharper than they are now, I genuinely couldn’t tell the difference.

  @MrHenko I’ve never found a way to export the tracks on my iPhone. I can download then, but the stay firmly trapped in the Apple Music app as far as I can tell. Given that I’ve bought them I’d also like to listen to them in the way I choose. Like I can with Bandcamp

  @MrHenko Ah, I recall now being able to find and move them on an old Windows PC. @artkavanagh Is right. That’s how I did it. I take it all back about my rude thoughts about Apple. 😏
