Online .mp3 store - Help

[DaTT]

Hey guys, need some help. Looking for an online store I can buy an album in mp3 format that I can put on a USB stick and play in my car.

Amazon won't work because I am in Canada.

Please help a lost soul.

I haven't been a member in years. They used to be cheaper, with more niche music. They wanted to get the big guys, and their prices went up to accommodate them. They also made repeat downloads a PITA, so I dropped them.

In any case, what artist? maybe they're on one of the small players like bandcamp.

Does Amazon offer the AutoRip feature there? When you buy many CDs in the US you also get an MP3 download.

I don't see an option for it.....lol though, some guy selling one of the CD's for $262

Emusic only has Real Lover(found via DuckDuckGo). Otherwise, Amazon, and iTunes showed up in a search. There may be other "stores" selling it, but I'm against commercial copyright infringement, and wouldn't support them.

Thank you.

You could PayPal someone to buy the mp3s and a USB stick then mail them to you as a gift.

Someone less lazy than me -- customs forms, gah.

If iTunes carries them in Canada you could burn a regular CD then rip it back to MP3.

iTunes.

No need to burn. Lots of Utilities can convert to MP3. iTunes alone can even do it.

There's no DRM for music purchases from the iTunes Music Store or Amazon Music anymore.

I've switched to Google Play after Amazon decided you needed one-click purchasing enabled. I don't know if Google Play works in Canada for MP3s.

MP3s on a USB stick are the best way to go in a car.

Have you checked iTunes?

The two albums are available on Amazon, for ~$9.50 each. I could buy them for you if you want.

 

[vshah]

both those albums are on spotify fwiw

 

[jlee]

I'm in Calgary right now...looks like Google Play will let me buy it.

I'm not sure if they're DRM-free, though.

He needs them DRM-free, to put them in a flash disk to play in the car. Spotify definitely isn't the solution.

As opposed to a brick & mortar mp3 store?

Anyways, thanks people. I completely forgot I had an apple ID and just used iTunes.

FWIW you can easily do this as a Canadian on Google Play Music too.
