Slow down tracks from appleMusic

[powerplant]

Hi
I am working on my transcription skills and wonder if anyone managed to slow down music from appleMusic streaming (without changing the tone). If it's done on a Mac or iPhone/iPad doesn't matter. All apps I have tried don't accept streams from appleMusic. I know Spotify allows this for some applications.

I just want to slow down so I can hear the individual tones better.

Glad to hear if anyone have solved this if not Im forced to open my Spotify account again (or get better ears - but that takes longer time).

I can't address the appleMusic streaming, but I can tell you that with a little patience all of that stuff can be worked around. If you can play the music on earphones, just plug a line into and recorder and record the music, then drop it into Audacity or Amazing Slow Downer or other apps that do what you want.
This is for educational purpose and if you don't publish or distribute the music, you're clear of copyright. Once this is mastered.... YouTube, Spotify, and Pandora wait for you.

Why don't you buy the damn tune ?? 0.99¢

good idea of being the tune but I still think it is drm:ed by apple. Is there a site where you can bye audiofiles that are not protected. I work slowly so even if they cost more than a dollar I would afford it.

An software like Transcribe let you do that. Also if needed you still can convert the AAC in mp3 in iTunes I think

Also buying music is helping artists and musicians, streaming doesn't....

Even if I purchase the individual songs from apple I don't get unprotected files. Do anyone have recommendations on where I can purchase legally unprotected mp3 files that I can import into eg transcribe.

I was frustrated after buying songs from Apple and not being able to convert the file to mp3 format in iTunes. I switched to Amazon after having problems with Apple files in this context. I've never had a problem getting Transcribe! to read mp3 files purchased through Amazon. I've tried going to artists' sites (to support them more directly), but too often my security software said it wasn't safe. When I can't find an mp3 on Amazon, I try youtube. Using Audacity, I can record any input, manually set the start and stop points, and then extract the section to an mp3 file, which I open in Transcribe! I especially like Transcribe for its ability to label section markers (e.g., verse), measure markers, and automatic beat markers (based on the specified time signature).

Its completely legal to use an app like tunefab (if you use a mac) to download the file. Conversion of media formats is legal as long as you aren't selling the copies. Personal use only. For instance when you used to have to convert LPs to tape so you could listen to it in your car. I have used tunefab to convert my apple music library for the very reason the OP wants to.

If you can hear it on your pc, you can record it.
Just takes Audacity and a little figuring out.

Buy the songs from iTunes, THEN record them on an external device to reload into your slow down software.
