How do I gift just one song from an album?

It is quite ridiculous, and it has been going on for years, and Apple knows it. I do not understand it, with all their development and constant updates, you would think they would get this fixed! You cannot buy something that is inaccessible to the buyer. Apple is losing revenue and along the way upsetting a lot of people using iTunes, it is as simple as that. This is a fix that should've been taken care of along time ago. I can purchase a single song on my Mac, but not my other devices; not my iPad, not my iPhone, not my iWatch, only my desktop. Manny is the time I've wanted to gift a song and have forgotten to do so once I've reached my Mac. I live on my iPad most of the time and I'm sure I'm not alone. Apple, get with it. You can't sell what's not on the shelf. This is economics 101!

Apple, get with it.

AFAIK that is how it works with Albums.... All or Nothing.

Is the particular song available as a Single...?

I'Ve tried to find singles by tapping "Songs" instead of All or Albums, but I still get songs from albums. How can I find out if a song comes as a single without going through the whole list? (What does AFAIK mean?)

On an iPad, I don't think it is possible. If you are using iTunes for Windows or Mac, just click the down triangle to the right of the Buy button for the individual song, as shown:

is it possible to do it on the iPod?

I don't think so, but give it a try. Do you see a "Gift This Song" choice? If not, head for a PC or Mac.

Thanks. I was trying to send a single song as a gift from my iPhone or iPad, through the iTunes Store app, and was a little bit surprised Apple does not make it easier from those devices.

Oh and by the way, you cannot gift a single either. It doesn't matter if it's not an album in just a single. It still doesn't work on anything but your desktop Mac.
