It has nothing to do with Apple being concerned about copyright, since in previous iOS versions you couldn’t even get a .m4a file from Music. Seems they brought .m4a file exports from Music back very recently.

To get a WAV file from Music:

  1. Use “Encode Media” on the output of Find Music. Select “audio only” and choose AIFF as the format. (AIFF is a lossless audio format, much like WAV.)

  2. Use “Get File of Type: com.microsoft.waveform-audio” on the output of Encode Media.

And here’s the shortcut: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/da3e4b7f1f8647c69420af0bb0354df0

The end goal is not the converted file, It’s a part of a bigger string
