CapCut is a free all-in-one video editing app that helps you create videos. It's available on iOS devices and Android devices. It can help users do post-production for videos with its built-in editing tools. One of the most important elements of videos is music. A piece of suitable music can make your videos attractive and interesting. What should I do if I want to add Apple Music to CapCut as background music? Is it complicated? This article will offer you an accessible way.

Part 1. How to Use Apple Music with CapCut

CapCut offers an impressive selection of background music for your video projects. But for many of us, the perfect track might be found on Apple Music. If you've ever tried to add an Apple Music track to your CapCut project, you may have faced some frustration. This is because Apple Music songs come with DRM (Digital Rights Management) protection, which keeps the files in an M4P format that CapCut and many other editing apps can't read. You might even struggle to locate these protected M4P files when trying to use them in your projects.

Don't let this discourage you. There's a straightforward solution: you can create your own offline music library with your favorite Apple Music tracks, free from DRM restrictions. By converting these tracks into a format that CapCut supports, like MP3, you can easily incorporate them into your projects. The tool you need for this is ViWizard Apple Music Converter.

ViWizard Apple Music Converter enables you to convert your Apple Music downloads into various formats that CapCut supports, such as MP3 and WAV. With just a few clicks, you can transform your DRM-protected Apple Music tracks into files that are compatible with CapCut. Once converted, these songs become part of your personal, DRM-free music library, ready to enhance any video project you create.
