Im not a part of any dj pool but that’s a great way as well. For more popular music, I’ve found Amazon music is generally cheaper for whatever reason than iTunes and Beatport. Bandcamp also let’s you buy whole discographies usually at a discounted rate. So if you like a certain label, def consider subscribing. Some labels have yearly subscriptions too where you can get all their releases for a set price. That’s where I get nearly all my music these days. That’s an awesome way to build your library with unique tunes. A lot of up and coming artists give away tracks/albums for free or it’s a name your price type of thing. So stay away from converters like that.Īs far as getting music, I highly recommend bandcamp and SoundCloud. The quality is extremely noticeable if you play it through a modestly nice sound system. By the time you rip it you’re probably half that. Usually streaming services are 128 kbps playback.

Not sure about Spotify? Read our guide on how to transfer your Spotify playlists to other music streaming services.When you buy an mp3 track you’re usually getting 320 kbps. If that doesn't help, Spotify says you should try reinstalling the app - but this means you'll need to re-download any music or podcasts you have saved. You can also try restarting the Spotify app or switching on Offline mode to stop your Internet connection from interfering. If your downloads aren't playing, ensure the download was successful by checking the arrow icon has turned green. If you have any issues downloading your music, make sure your device isn't in sleep mode, double-check your Internet connection is active, and make sure you have at least 1GB of free storage space on your device. It's worth bearing in mind that you'll need to go online at least once every 30 days to keep your downloads - Spotify says this is so it can collect play data to compensate artists.
