Part 1: Why Can’t I Import Apple Music to Premiere Pro Directly?
First, let's answer the question at the beginning. Why can't we always import Apple Music to Premiere Pro smoothly? This is because the downloaded Apple Music is protected by DRM technology, and Premiere Pro cannot recognize this format. Premiere Pro supports formats such as MP3, WAV, AIFF, etc. Therefore, you cannot import Apple Music to Premiere Pro directly.

Step 1 First, please download TunePat to your computer. TunePat is available for Windows and Mac computers. When you open the program, you will see the following interface.

To switch the audio source, just click the "Apple Music web player" button above.
Step 2 Before converting, we recommend clicking the settings button to modify the basic settings. You can modify "Output Format", "Bit Rate", "Sample Rate", "Output Folder", and so on here. You can modify them according to your preferences. But please change the output format to the format supported by Premiere Pro.
Step 3.1 If you convert Apple Music from the iTunes App, you can click the "Add" in the middle, then please choose the desired songs from the pop-up window. After selecting, please click "OK" to add these songs to TunePat.
Step 3.2 If you want to convert Apple Music from the web player, you can log in to your Apple Music account and browse the songs, albums, or playlists you wish to download. Then click the blue "Click to add" button in the lower right corner. After clicking, TunePat will load these songs. You can tick off the songs you want and click "Add" to add them to TunePat.
Step 4 You will see some buttons at this point. To convert more songs from different albums at the same time, please click "Add More". Otherwise, you can click the "Convert" button. TunePat will download your songs up to 10 times the speed. After that, you will just need to wait for the conversion to finish.
Step 5 Once all the songs have been downloaded, you can go to the "History" tab to view your download history. These downloaded Apple Music songs are decoded, which is different from the music you download directly from Apple Music. You can save the songs permanently and add Apple Music to Premiere Pro now.
