Looking for Music Download, Not Streaming
I’m old-school in that I prefer to buy my digital music and download it to my phone instead of streaming. Don’t ask me why or try to convince me to stream, I just like to possess it for some reason. I used to buy/download it from Amazon Music because they had every piece of music I ever wanted and it was easy to download. Unfortunately, they changed, and now the only way you can play the music from Amazon is to do it through their app. I don’t want to use their app. Does anyone know of a site that has a virtually comprehensive collection of music for purchase and download? The best I can find (so far) is called 7digital, and quite often, they don’t have something I’m looking for (for example, I’m currently looking for Led Zeppelin). I don’t usually download complete albums, I prefer to buy individual songs/tracks. I listen to anything from classical to pop to rock to modern. Thanks for any recommendations, I appreciate it!

Hello Raymond,
Sorry we couldn’t connect for the show question. Here are some solutions we were going to recommend.
You can still download Musc you have purchased with Amazon – Tap here to see how.
Apple iTunes – Allows you to purchase music to save locally.
https://www.cduniverse.com/ – For actual CDs you can rip
https://us.7digital.com/ – For purchasing digital audio.-
I use Youtube, everything is on there, I love Youtube!

Hi John – I appreciate the tips. However, I don’t use Apple, I’m on an Android, so that rules out iTunes, I don’t want to use the Amazon app for playing music because, and correct me if I’m wrong, I don’t believe it allows me to play music that I’ve already purchased elsewhere that’s stored locally on my phone. With 7digital, I’ve liked it for the most part, but I find that it doesn’t have many titles that I look for – like Led Zeppelin. With purchasing and ripping CDs, that’s not very cost effective for me, because there are many artists who only have one or two songs that I like; that’s the appeal of buying and downloading music – that I can do it piecemeal. Sorry to be difficult; are there any other options that you know of?
Thanks,
Ray
