Hmm, why? They're just .m4a or .aac files and will play on anything (no DRM) that supports the format. I currently have a heap of iTunes purchases happily playing on my Android phone. You just have to manually copy the files from your iTunes folders or the Apple device to the phone. But I think I used an app to do the migration from Apple to Android, to save some tedious work. :)

Yeah, I did some research prior to replying to Nightfox... I have never connected my iPhone to my laptop so was unaware such a thing was possible. Sounds a little tedious but at least I'd be able to keep all the music I've amassed if I ever feel the need to switch.

Yep, my migration from Apple to Android was pretty painless, actually.

It's rather nice to look up a tune instantly and play it.
Spotify also allows playing tunes offline.

What does the artist get from Spotify?

I don't recall the reported %'s. But Taylor Swift was an early endorser.

I'm old-fashioned, preferring CD where possible. If digital only,
I'll go for a FLAC copy. Only once or twice did I have to settle for
MP3.

Me too. I utilize a mix depending on the circumstances. FLAC to CD
sounds awesome. In my case, I use AnyConvertor to go from original FLAC
file to Apple Lossless. All the tags and ID info is retained! Then I use iTunes to burn the CD. I don't have a pc powerful enough to serve FLAC
files directly. Then I take the CD to the hi-fi system, crank it right up and go lie down two rooms away to enjoy the house-filled chest-pounding immersion.

I gave up on my CD to FLAC project when I discovered Spotify. There is
simply not enough time to do all that conversion for a 2000+ CD
collection. But I like the idea of operating like a DJ, study my
collection, build a playlist on the fly and play from the convenience from
a laptop or phone device. Plus, the conversion needs a decent server SDD/
HDD which I don't have.

I rip the CD and usually listen to the OGG Vorbis file on the
computer, but the CD does get used for the car and a home CD player.
I also like liner notes and the artwork that comes with it.

ð1 <--that's my thumbs up.

Ogg Vorbis has always appealed to me for some strange reason! ;)

I can't even read the liner notes of some of original CDs without a magnifying glass! LOL. Full album covers are amazing. I have about
1100+ LPs.
