How to Download Apple Music Songs to Mac

I'm an Apple Music subscriber. Is there any way to save my songs from Apple Music to Mac?

Apple Music, developed by Apple Inc., is a comprehensive music, audio, and video streaming service. As a Premium user, you have access to over 100 million songs and can download them for offline playback. However, if you're an Apple Music subscriber, there are some limitations when downloading music from the Music app. The downloaded files are saved as cache files rather than local files, which means they can't be played on unauthorized Apple devices.
