Hey folks,
I made the switch to Android from iOS and I am looking for an equivalent to the iTunes store for buying music! Is there a good option or am I sort of shoe horned into subscribing to a streaming service?
Edit: Thanks for all the replies everyone!
If you are on Android just pirate it, answer “I wanna pirate” for more info.
You don’t need to be on android to play pirated music. OP clearly is more interested in supporting the artists.
Support the artists ? Buying from Apple (or Amazon etc) sees you supporting Apple, supporting the publisher, the RIAA. The Artist is at the end of a long chain of grifters and middle men taking their pound of flesh… I’d love to support the artists, if I could donate directly to them. The ones who aren’t, like Taylor Swift don’t need more supoort.
That’s actually a surprise to me, seeing how they wouldn’t let people sideload. Can’t believe the app store would allow pirates.
There’s no security implications with allowing users to play mp3 files, they don’t care where they came from. 75% of my library is music that I either pirated or ripped from my own CDs, it’s not like iTunes (now Music) can tell which is mine and which isn’t. Same thing with movies/tv shows.
