A song my ancient band recorded is being held hostage. Apple won’t let me share it. It’s just some dumb out-of-tune Neil Young cover we made in my front hall, but afaik it’s the only extant copy. Last known recording of my dear friend and bandmate before she took her life. Really need to preserve it.

I used to have all the junk necessary, no idea if this will work. Maybe even have a couple blank CDs lying around from the Aughts. Great idea!

A first step can be just a simple recording of line-out of your computer using a secondary device.

I have never heard of TIRC records. Is mystery!

Presumably you used them to release it? Ask them maybe?

Check if it's on Qobuz, they sell DRM free FLACs (better quality). You'd have to buy it unfortunately.

EDIT: It's not on Qobuz 😕

I did find a couple other long-lost recordings though, so thank you!

I haven't purchased a song in a long time, but they should be regular AAC files (.m4a, no DRM) after downloading, I think?

Maybe you can use https://doubledouble.top or https://lucida.to that both seems to support Apple Music, although I haven't tested it.

Or you may need to use a program like https://tenacityaudio.org and loopback the computer's audio output to the program to record it.

Depends on operating system but almost all have some built in program to do screen captures that also do recording of audio. Theres always just audio cable out to a physical recorder or even just use a phone to record it and then edit the file in Audacity for volume and to cut out the clicks and stuff at the beginning and end.
