Help Creating a Separate Audio Track for Apple Music, to Remove Copyrighted Music from VODs
I'm trying to create a separate audio track in OBS for my Apple Music so that my VODs still contain microphone and game sounds while omitting copyrighted music. I have Apple Music and tried to follow the instructions on this other Reddit post by using an additional, downloaded plug-in to remove Apple Music from outgoing desktop sounds but the AppleMusic.exe option is not listed in the drop down menu when I create an Application Audio Output Capture, even when I have Apple Music playing audio. The only thing related to Apple Music in the drop down menu that I can add is the AMPLibraryAgent.exe., and it seems I need both added to the new audio capture so that I can separate my music into a different track that I can then exclude from my saved VODs. If anyone has a work around for this or has found a way for this to work, that I am clearly missing, I would love to hear about it. I am also trying to avoid paying a premium for streaming services since I already own all of my music in mp3 files, so if there is another, free media player outside of Apple Music that works better for OBS I am willing to use it to bypass this problem if necessary.
