Where to buy music...

[sicario666]

I have everything hooked up right now and I'm trying it. I have a PC, let's see what happens

For a Mac, you'd have to use Android File Transfer, which can be a little buggy.

If you have a PC, you could install iTunes on the PC, download the music track there, then connect the phone to the PC via USB. Swipe down the notification panel, tap the USB notification, and make sure it's set to File Transfer. Then use Windows File Explorer to drag and drop the music file from the PC's hard drive to the phone directory of your preference (I suggest the /Music directory that's there by default).

Where is the file location at in itunes?

I'm sure I won't notice the difference in sound quality. I'm not an audio connoisseur. Now if it was bad enough, maybe I would say something. Converting it is my best option as of yet.

The resonance and engagement factor is higher when consuming music at CD quality or better.

I tried covering it to aac. The conversion went fine, it was the drag and drop didn't work. I was able to copy the files but not paste

It's been ages since I've done any of that on my PC. It looks like the default is /Music/iTunes/iTunes Media: https://support.apple.com/guide/itunes/change-where-files-are-stored-itns2999/windows

There's the answer I've been looking for. I'll definitely look that up

Let's keep this thread on topic. The OP is not interested in a debate about the sound quality of various formats.

Sorry I didn't realize that the pixel 7 supported AAC... So yeah you wouldn't have to convert them to mp3s. My bad

How do you go about getting the files onto your device? Being that the pixel sports AAC, shouldn't it just be a simple copy/paste?

It's not copy and paste, you have to drag the file from the computer's hard drive onto the music folder of the pixel. 7. Some people here might have better apps they use. I just use Android file transfer on the Mac. Once I plug in my pixel 7 to the Mac, the Android file transfer app just pops up and it gives me a list of all the folders on my phone. And then I select the music files that I want to transfer on the Mac and drag them onto the music folder on the Pixel. 7

Ok. It sounds like a different method using a PC and itunes to transfer onto a device. Opposed to using a Mac and transferring from itunes to the pixel. I'm not using Android file transfer

Did you see my previous response explaining how to copy the tracks from your PC to the phone?

I ripped my 400+ CDs and uploaded them to Google Play Music (now morphed to Youtube Music) years ago.
If I wanted to buy music more music and own it so I did not have to stream, I would buy CDs on Ebay for $5 or less and rip them with a ~$20 external cd player if my computer did not have a built in CD.

It should be noted that streaming services allow you to download a ton of music to your phone so you have it if offline.
