Is there any free way to download lossless music from the Apple Music? I have AM active subscription but I don't know how to download my desired songs in .ALAC from Apple music and keep it forever and listen to it when I don't have an Apple music active subscription..?

No. You’re not buying the song. I believe though you can through iTunes.

iTunes downloads aren't lossless (are they??), but Qobuz's are. No subscription required, good prices, standard and hi-res options, good player for streaming purchases. Bandcamp has lossless downloads for indie stuff and quite a bit label stuff as well. [edited for clarity]

I understand Apple Music and Itunes to be seperate. Apple Music is lossless and there is no way to download music without maintaining a subscription. Purchases from Itunes are not lossless, they are still AAC lossy files.

HDTracks, Qobuz and Bandcamp are all great resources for HiRes Audio purchases.
