Hello,
I can't find a site except Amazon where I can buy music online.
I went to YouTube music but I don't find any way to buy music there.
Google doesn't seem to offer digital music for sale either.
Thanks for your help.

Do you have an internet browser? I use Firefox myself.
I use DuckDuckGo for a search engine and I suggest you search on
"Music for sale" Barnes and Noble comes up as well as a number
of other sources outside apparently of Amazon. I think that
Apple might have a service as well.

I would NEVER use any streaming service to "buy" music from because you
will not *own* it and when contracts run out you may lose it although
you paid for it.
Remember the story with Amazon and - of all sorts - Orwell's 1984?
People bought it and downloaded it to their Kindle and then something happened (can't remember what) and it was deleted from their device.

I have bought music from Amazon, and still have the .mp3 files I
downloaded.

I use Apple iTunes for buying and downloading my music. Works well.

Last time I used iTunes looked you had to use their software, which is
only available for Windows and Mac. I couldn't find any other way to
buy and download on Linux, e.g. via their website. It's been several
years since I last bought anything from them, so just wondering if the situation has changed - or do you still need to use iTunes on Windows or
Mac?

They're never going to stop doing that, at Apple.
NEVER mix paying for something, with "bronze in WINE".
Not worth it. Like say you bought a bunch of music, and
the wheels fell off this and it stopped working. You'd be PISSED.

The whole purpose of having things like that, is to suck you
into their ecosystem. Then what... Even inside their ecosystem,
they will be "updating stuff", your OS will be "too old", your
hardware will be "too old" and so on.

You can burn discs with your purchased music.
https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/itunes/itns2987/windows
So export is possible.
iTunes used to include something like Primoburner with it,
so it could burn a disc. There are a few embedded windows applications
like that, which are bundled with larger packages so you can burn discs. Windows itself has imapi2 for this, but it occasionally has issues
with RW media (doesn't erase it).
I would prefer an application just makes an ISO, and then you can
use any working burner for the job of making media (K3B burner).
But really, the idea of having an "intermediary that always gets
in the way", that would be a "NO SALE" in my book. You just know
some day, something is going to happen, and your little collection
will be gone. It's hard enough to protect assets on computers, without
the interference of others.

People in this thread mentioned iTunes as a source for music. What
format does iTunes use. Is it a simple matter to buy it and convert it
to mp3? I want to do everything using a PC.
Thanks Again. Bill S.
From Apple's website. How to convert their formats. There may also be away to do it using one of the many converter programs available for

GStreamer Bad Plug-ins is a set of plug-ins that aren't up to par compared
to the rest. They might be close to being good quality, but they're missing
something - be it a good code review, some documentation, a set of tests, a
real live maintainer, or some actual wide use.
This package contains plugins from the "ugly" set, a set of
good-quality plug-ins that might pose distribution problems.

All the tracks I've downloaded from iTunes are .m4a files, which I
believe is an MP4 container, with AAC or ALAC codec. I haven't
purchased any tracks from them for about 5 years, so that might have
changed in the meantime. If no-one else can confirm otherwise, you
could buy one and try it with your setup, before committing to more.
I can play the files I have in Rhythmbox, Celluloid and VLC without any conversion, although I think I had to install the
`gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad` package to enable that. That name might
sound bad, but I think `gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly` is needed for MP3 files.
From the descriptions of the packages, the bad naming refers to:

and ugly:

I think "distribution problems" means the licenses might not be open
source, or there might be patent/trademark issues preventing the plugins from being freely distributed in some countries.
I've never had an Apple device. Do you suppose
it is possible for me to get Apple ID and password.
I thought I'd ask and avoid a hassle and distasteful experience.
Thanks for your post.
I googled about how to buy iTunes song using Win 11 on a PC. It is
straight forward except for the last step, which is: Sign in with your
Apple ID and password to complete purchase.
