As you might already know, that Apple Music songs are not available in the list of ringtone options on your iPhone even though they're downloaded locally on your iPhone. Why? Well, to make an iPhone M4R ringtone from an existing song, such as MP3 or AAC file, you need to convert that song into iPhone M4R ringtone file, and the same goes to Apple Music songs.


But the difficult part of turning Apple Music into iPhone ringtone lies in the fact that Apple Music tracks are protected M4P files. Locked by Apple's FairPlay technology, it is impossible for you to convert Apple Music to M4R ringtone with iTunes.


Under such circumstance, a specialized Apple Music Converter will be very useful because it can help you get DRM-free Apple Music songs in a few clicks and after that, you can import them into ringtone creator or software and create custom ringtone for your iPhone XS, iPhone X, iPhone 8, iPhone 7, etc.
