    I acquire the MP3 of the song I want from where ever I can find it. Be that buying it, YouTube converter or elsewhere. Then copy it to the SD card on my phone to listen to.

      I used to use YouTube converter. However I got Spotify and it was beyond easy. Also google shut down google music.

      Converting vs Spotify is a no brainier though. Costs like $30 a year
