Am I missing something? Amazon prime isn't free. The op clearly stated they wanted a free service

Yes you are[dipso]another casualty said “if you have ...” ... not “pay for prime”

dipsomaniac

Ok. Surely if op had Amazon prime and therefore was already paying for music they wouldn't have started this thread

In google 'tools' there is an fm radio that plays as a radio, no wifi needed

All the radio stations are there

That'll only work if the phone has fm radio firmware installed. That's becoming rarer these days.

Have you a laptop or desk top? We ripped our cds to the laptop then moved it to our phones as and when.
Not ideal for exercise but there's also podcasts, not music but plenty of variety which can be downloaded over wifi. I use podbean and stitcher.

have you any music of your own on either cd or digital? if so, you can rip cds to pc/laptop using windows media player and then transfer (if digital just transfer) to a music folder on phone.

if you haven't any music of your own one free option is to rip tracks from youtube using software such as audacity and then tranfer to phone or use a free version of a paid for service (spotify mentioned above) but you will have ads.

other free options for listening to music is to connect to one of the thousands of radio station around the world but that would need a good 4g connection and would use data

Just Google "youtube converter".
Then find a track on youtube and paste the web address of that track into the converter. It will then turn the track into an MP3 and you can download it.
Simply then drag to your mobile with a USB cable.
Totally free.
Obviously you should not download any music that is copywrite...

Hi thanks would I need to download a music player on my android phone to play those mp3's that I drag over?

Have a look on your phone to see if it has a suitable app already first. It probably does.
