Some of my Apple Music downloads as Apple Music AAC audio file and then I cannot play it through other non-Apple devices such as Sonos. Most of the Apple Music downloads as Purchased AAC audio file and then I can play through Sonos just fine. Any ideas how I can download and save as Purchased - or if I can use the iTunes match facility to convert the Apple Music AAC audio file into a playable version?

Thanks for the quick response - and clear answer. Sadly, not the answer I wanted. Guess I will need to cancel my Apple music subscription and buy the music from iTunes Store.
Thanks again - Happy New Year.
