Not sure if this is in the right section but I'll ask anyway. I want to buy an album but I want to be able to share it easily between my Galaxy Note and my iPad. Also, if possible, with my 2 sons' iPods. Am I best to buy it on iTunes or Amazon? I've never bought music on Amazon before so not quite sure how it works. I would be grateful for some advice on which way to go and, if possible, the steps I should take. Thank you.
iTunes. It's AAC which is higher quality, and if you share an iTunes account, it's super easy for them to download it to their devices, no computer sync required.
Amazon. If their devices are authorized, it's easy to download purchases via Amazon music app. But here is a cool thing, a lot of their physical media is also available as a free digital download. So, if it is, I would buy the CD from Amazon. You would then have immediate access to digital downloads, and then when the physical media arrives, you are free to rip it in any format/ bit rate your heart desires.
Either service is seamless, but the slight advantage goes to Amazon, because you can download it directly to
all devices using the Amazon App.
Edit: The Amazon service for digital downloads of purchased CDs is called AutoRip.
