Part 1: Can You Convert Apple Music to WAV?
Apple Music songs are DRM protected while streamed or downloaded through the app, so a direct save to WAV is not available inside Apple Music.

When done correctly, the conversion preserves metadata and produces standard WAV files that play on any media player without needing an Apple Music subscription.

Part 3. WAV vs Other Formats: When to Choose WAV
WAV files are uncompressed and preserve the full detail of the source audio, which makes them ideal for archiving, professional editing, or listening on high fidelity systems. The trade off is file size: WAV files are significantly larger than MP3 or AAC. If you need maximum fidelity and have plenty of storage, converting Apple Music to WAV is a strong choice. For portable players or limited storage, consider FLAC (lossless but compressed) or high bitrate MP3 for a balance of quality and space.
