Music Downloads

[Mexican18]

I currently use Spotify to listen to music, but I don't have Premium.. Is there a way I can download MP3 free so that it goes onto my music on my Lumia 650? I realise that it's illegal but I'm sure you realise it is for research reasons only!

Well, purely for educational purposes obviously, I'll tell you about stream ripping:

On your computer, go to a Youtube video of a song you want to obtain. Right-click in your browser's address bar to highlight the URL and then click 'Copy'. Go to an online file conversion site, such as this one:
http://www.flvto.biz/
Right-click in the blank field and select 'Paste'.
Check that 'MP3' is selected and click on 'Convert To'
When your file has been converted, click on 'Download' and select the location for your file.
Wait for the download to complete
Job done.
You can then transfer your collection of files across to your phone.

Note 1: In theory you can do the same thing directly on your phone but it's sometimes harder to do things like copying and pasting URLs on an Android (or other mobile) device.

Note 2: There are loads of file conversion sites like that one. As Youtube keep tweaking their system though, sometimes you'll find that a particular site doesn't work. If so, simply google 'Youtube mp3' to find another one. (I know that one is currently working because I've just tried it).

You can try some streaming and downloading sites like http://nomp3.com which allow you to download any music file directly to you device. Just search for the file or directly insert youtube url in search box.

I tried Nomp3.com and successfully downloaded a track but how do I find it on my phone?

Try any file manager and locate it in either music or download folder. Or try to download the file using uc manager.
