Tips| Downloading Music From Google Play (EDITED)

So you received a gift card from a family member and you want to use it to download some tracks. If you are an android user, which I assume you are, you should be familiar with the "Google Play Music" app.  When you purchase a track/album, it will be automatically added to your music library.

But what if you want to add the tracks/album into your computers iTunes library, how do you get the actual files? Its a simple process. Unfortunately some users do not know how to do it and blame Google.

Heres' what you do...

Step 1: An obvious step, find and purchase the track/album you want to download. *

Step 2: Head over to your music library. 

Step 3: Find the album you want and click the overflow menu. Select "Download" and confirm you want to download directly.**

Step 4: Enjoy listening to your media on iTunes, iPods, and mp3 players. 

*For some reason Google requires you to have some balance on your account or an active credit/debit card to get albums made free from Google.

**Note: Using this method will only work twice. However, by saving a backup online or on a flash drive you can avoid re downloading your media. 

Free Music| Google Play's "Antenna Sampler"

Who doesn't love free music? Head over to Google Play and check out some of the music from up-and-coming artists. There are 18 songs which will certainly be added to your favorite playlist. Go check them out! (LINK)
