downloading music

This might be a very stupid question, but please bear with me as I am not at all tech-savy.

I would like to download some music tracks, mainly older stuff (Nick Straker Band, Lotus Eaters and so on) we don't have i-pads or any apple products nor plan on getting them so is there a website which would have the slightly more obscure music which presumably I would need to pay for each track and can download as mp3s?

Thanks

    You don't need an Apple device to download music. All the major download sites including Apple will tell you how to download to Windows / Android (well not for Apple) / Linux devices.

    Have a look at 7 Digital: https://www.7digital.com

    The Lotus Eaters are on there as is Nick Straker (assuming that's the music you're after) and downloads appear to cost £0.99 each.

    Do you have an Amazon account - they have albums or single tracks from 99p

    Google also have plenty of choice from the music section of the Play store (same place you get your android apps from)

    You actually don't need to download music these days. Spotify and others will give you access to what you want and more.

    I use it on my mobile and have never downloaded a track since.

    OK, well this was what i was a bit concerned about. Was it legal to do or not.
