...where do the music files go?? And, would it be better to download onto my lap lop or phone? Also, if I download to my lap top, can I copy or transfer the music to my phone and other devices?Quote from: "Berry Sweet"

They're DRM coded and disappear the moment your membership lapses. You can't control them. If you want a hard copy of non DRM mp3's, you need to do something different, not Google Play. GP is only good for listening to new releases or old albums you don't care about keeping.

No, I want to buy and album off google play...I am going to purchase it...where will the music go after I purchase it??Quote from: "Berry Sweet"
You don't actually own it. It's still DRM locked to Google and can't be played outside of Google Play. Also, after three downloads (when you upgrade devices as you go), your licence expires and you no longer own it at all and would have to pay again.
It's a dodgy set up.

Ahh ok...I just looked into it....I get what you are saying....that's messed up.
Is there anywhere I can actually buy the album or song to keep as my own file?

If you must 'buy' the album but want a high quality Mp3 of it, buy the CD and rip it to 320 kbps.
Or, there is the easier and far cheaper option. Hint hint

I'd recommend iTunes if you want to buy songs close to 320kbps audio quality, they have a nice library and you can download it on your PC and should work on your android phone too iirc.Quote from: "Zetsu"
Thank you...now we're getting somewhere! How can I go about doing this?? I put the iTunes app on my PC, but I'm not an apple user, I'm android....I have no apple devices....I couldnt get it to work and it messed up my PC a bit. Not happy about it. The music I'm looking for is old and I'm not gonna find it in stores...I guess I may have to order a CD online...lame.
You think at this day and age, there would be store online that sells music.

If I recall correctly you'll just need to create an apple ID/account and enter your credit card information for future purchases. Once you pay and download the song its' yours forever to keep.

You don't actually own it. It's still DRM locked to Google and can't be played outside of Google Play. Also, after three downloads (when you upgrade devices as you go), your licence expires and you no longer own it at all and would have to pay again.
It's a dodgy set up.
The yearly subscription is different from buying. I use Google Play music for my music. The paid subscription lets you stream and download unlimited music. Buying an album from Google Play store is different. You buy it you own it on your Google account forever. They never expire.
You can only play the album on Google Play music on your laptop or smartphone etc. Even if you download the album after you buy it it'll just be on Google Play music. No mp3 files provided.
Maybe Berry will like this track. Makes me think of the past.

Once you buy it you can download it as many times as you want. Like on my phone. I can delete it, download it, delete, and download it back again and again. This is not a subscription where it expires.
You are limited to using the same Google account on Google Play music on 10 devices. You may remove devices at anytime. Can only remove 4 devices a year.

Thanks, I read your link and will do a bit more research about it. I stopped buying albums on Google Play a number of years ago so I don't know if I read the fine print wrong or they've changed their TOS since.
