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!

Are you looking for an Android app specifically? Because there are websites for this, which may or may not also have Android apps. Aside from Bandcamp, a few that come to mind are:

Qobuz

HDTracks

7Digital

Amazon

Qobuz is good but lately they want you to install their software to just download albums you buy, or else you have to download one track at a time. Really petty and annoying

Oh no. If that’s true, I will not buy from there again.

I’m an Android guy, always have been, always will. But I use Apple music; best quality music and you can download the tracks.

Any store that gives you access to the actual downloads is the way to go.

iTunes is suprisngly good about this - on a PC. Wherever the library folder is, you can just copy the files to your phone’s music folder (You might have to convert them from m4a to mp3 first). (You can also export ituens playlists to transfer them)

bandcamp, and amazon are good alts to itunes. (Not prime music, search for a song or album and buy the mp3 version just as if your buying anything else).

FYI: there are easy to use music converters online. For YouTube, SoundCloud, etc.
