Hello there how do I download music her hee 😁 and u just put it public mobile in ur phone

   Absolutely... I download them to my tablet (my phone is only 16gb) and you can then make playlists for Google or Samsung play and/or put them on a micro sd card. I use samsung sync to move playlists to my phone. If i wasnt using both sim card slots i would just have it all on a sd card and put that in my phone.

   You can listen as long as you have battery power.....pretty low usage. Ive probably had it play for 6 hours and it uses maybe 10 - 20% of my battery. I haven't done the true test of how long it lasts when camping with limited charging capabilities. The battery in my phone easily lasts 10x as long as playing music from youtube.

      Once downloaded they are mine....im assuming that's why you have ads and a good music selection but you can't get everything and anything. If there's an illegally downloaded song it just won't play. But I've  only run into that maybe 4 or 5 times with particular artist that keeps complete control of their copyrights......you know a Prince type of artist.

        The app itself is a little like pm with a few glitches....it will freeze a selection list after about 5 or 6 downloads so it's good to jump around to different artists and come back. New songs get added every week .....so you can go back after a couple of weeks and songs that werent available a month ago have been added to the list. Every month or two I'll spend three hours downloading  music while I do something else.

@mpcdesign , I had asked questions in the first response to this thread.  I was looking for clarification from the OP to make sure that it was an off-topic item or just a bit of miscommunication as their post gave no detail

Sometimes, gotta see where the conversation leads

    The app I mentioned has pretty good sound quality. You can listen to a song and preview it because occasionally you'll get the song straight from a video or poor quality production.. But I just find it way faster to download the songs and edit out the odd bad download later when your listening to the playlist. You can download entire albums but you can't pick and choose from the songs on the album to put into a personalized playlist or if you just put the whole list on random play the whole album will play rather than one random song from it. But for free music that won't use mobile data later when played the extra work to deal with the ads when downloading and the editing later is worth it in the end rather than paying $10 - $15 for a monthly subscription.

But if you've downloaded them, can't you just move them to your own music library and arrange and organize them there. (illegalities notwithstanding 🙂 ) Which is why I'm wondering about how long or how often you can listen offline to what you've downloaded.

This is what I don't understand in the community....

If I posted a question like this, "how to download music here, hehe," in the Phone & Hardware, I can guarantee you, it will get moved to the Lounge.

When somebody else does it, and new, it stays!

I don't envy the Oracles for their efforts recently (since the world blew up) and a whole lotta newbs arriving here posting anything and everything all over the place.

Cheers all

[darlicious]

@computergeek541  Excellent explanation! It's good to know the reasoning......

This is entirely at the discretion of the individual Moderator or Oracle. As to if someone new posts something off topic doesn't get moved, this isn't the case. I moved a thread by a member who joined less than a month ago to the lounge earlier in the day.  I also happen to agree (although sometimes, an Oracle or Moderator might disagree) that this thread is off-topic and have moved it. Please keep in the mind that occassionally, an Oracle might ask the opinions of Public Mobile staff or sometimes of the other Oracles, and also that Oracles are not obligated to conduct these tasks.

 Try the music unlimited app. Free downloaded music that you can search by artist, song or album. Every three songs or so that you download you have a 5 second ad but you can create a large playlist file in one evening that can be stored in your Google play ap or on a micro sd card. Be sure to download while you are on wifi then you wont use any of your mobile data.

---

 @darlicious 

How long and how often can you listen to that selected playlist? Are the ads loud and intrusive jarring you out of enjoying the music? I've wondered about streaming and local storage for a while now. Just haven't spent the time on it.

---

@Anonymous  The ads are only when you are downloading the music so every minute or so you have to click to exit the ad. So a little annoying but after a couple of hours you have an ad free 500 song playlist that doesnt use your mobile data.

---

Oh that's tolerable for ads. So how about the other questions if you might be willing. Or they're irrelevant questions maybe. They're downloaded, you have them. Dunno. How about sound quality too? Although that can depend on the playback method.

@Nikki7777  if you're not concerned about BITRate (sound quality IE: Cd vs mp3) and have an Android phone you can download songs free off YouTube.

Google "YouTube to MP3" lots of sites come up. Paste the YouTube link of your song on the site and download it to your phone.

@Nikki7777 

This would be a hardware and not a service issue. What is the problem you are asking about, speed of download? Or storage capacity? For speed you could always use a wifi connection that is faster then your data connection with PM. For storage add an sd card if your phone can take it or get a phone with decwnt jnternal storage.

I have a smaller album collection of about 750 or so. I have them all on an SD card and use whatever player on the phone. I bought Neutron anyway. No data required. SD slot yes. Or just use your on-board memory.

Take a look at the CBC music app. It is good and commercial free. 

https://www.cbc.ca/listen/cbc-music-playlists

You can find iOS or android app too. 

[Staliger]

@Nikki7777 I use google music. Make sure you have enough data on your plan.

[JoyLuck]

Look at Spotify. Get a family account for $14.99 per month. You can have 6 accounts. Find some friends and split the cost.

[computergeek541]

@Nikki7777 The first thing I'm going to ask is if you have working internet access on your phone, but either way, any internet connection would do (not just cellular).

[ShawnC13]

@Nikki7777  That isn't a public mobile issue.  It depends on what app or music streaming service you are using.
