how to download music without a subscription on my phone

I believe above question pertains to my issue as well which you didn't answer. I was searching for a band, once I found them i wanted to sample the album to see if I wanted to purchase it. Every time I tried the play it the "subscribe to apple music" option came up. 9.99 a month with auto billing. The question is can I preview the album or a single song, like I used to, WITHOUT having to subscribe.

Yes. but you need to do so through the iTunes Store app on iOS devices, or the iTunes Store section in the Music app on a Mac.

If you find the song in the Browse or For You sections of the Music app on either an iOS device or Mac, that is the area for the subscription service and will require a subscription always.

You can sync your music library by connecting your phone to your computer and using iTunes (Windows) or Music (apple) to sync your device.
