Is there any way that I can download Apple Music songs to plain formats and transfer them to USB flash drive? Definitely yes! Read the following post, we've got you covered.

Apple Music boasts itself as one of the hottest streaming music giants, granting its subscribers access to more than 100 million songs.

But when you end the subscription, the downloaded Apple Music songs will be greyed out, and you cannot play them anymore.
