Purchasing a song

I do not see “music” on the bottom of the Apple store, like the help directions say. I would like to purchase a song, but music isn’t listed on the bottom or anywhere that I can see I the App Store. Am I missing it? How else can I purchase this song?

Hmmm...ok, first, to be clear, are you 'shopping' through iTunes?

You mentioned the App Store (and that isn't the place to go for Music 😉)


Wait! Sorry! It might not be that straightforward for you with the XR. Just found an article that might help:

Looks like you can browse music in the Apple Store but you have to then go into iTunes, manually 'search' the song you want, and purchase it from there.


I hope that helps!
