Shown below are the steps to install and get the Apple Music app on Walkman devices that are Android models.

Part 2: How to Convert Apple Music Songs on Walkman [For non-Android Users]?
For Walkman users with Android models, it is very easy to play Apple Music songs. However, the case would be different for those who have non-Android models. Now, in order to finally play and transfer Apple Music to Walkman for such models, the only way out is to make the tracks compatible with them. In this instance, we would need to download the songs first and remove their DRM protection. But how can this be done?
DRM protection restricts users from playing and accessing content on unauthorized devices. It protects the files from illegal distribution and use. To transfer Apple Music to Walkman, the first step is to get rid of this encryption. With the help of tools like Apple Music Unlocker, this is simple to do.
Apple Music Unlocker is a tool that helps unlock Apple Music tracks from DRM protection and even aids in their conversion to common formats like MP3. It performs lossless transformation, so output files are guaranteed to be great. With its easy interface, first-time users won’t encounter trouble while using it.
To start using Apple Music Unlocker, check it out and download it first. Afterward, proceed with the installation process. Once launched, the below procedure is what must be done next.
Step #1. Proceed and tap the “Open the Apple web player” menu that’s on the home screen of Apple Music Unlocker.
Step #2. On the new window, press the “Sign in” option at the top to log into your Apple ID account.
Step #3. Upon successfully logging in, browse and choose the Apple Music songs, albums, and playlists to be processed. Just simply drag and drop them to the red “add” icon on the side of the screen. Opening a playlist and then immediately tapping the red “add” icon will also let you add all the songs in it to the platform.
Just in case you are thinking about possible duplicated songs, you don’t have to, as Apple Music Unlocker helps you avoid that by automatically detecting doubled-up tracks.
Step #4. From the list of available output formats, choose one that’s supported by Walkman. As always, MP3 would be a good choice. Choosing where the converted tracks will be saved can also be done by modifying the output folder location.
Step #5. The transformation of the selected Apple Music content shall commence once the “Convert” or “Convert All” button is clicked.
The unlocked and converted Apple Music songs will be available shortly in the output folder that was set up in step 4. Now, what’s left to be done is to finally transfer Apple Music to Walkman.
The detailed guide on how you can do the transfer (of the converted songs) will be further explained in the next part.
