Q: How can I keep music albums forever?

If you are buying the music with your iPhone you can keep it for as long as you want and move it to an Android device if you want to. You do not need to pay extra for that ability. Music bought from iTunes Store does not have any DRM protection on it preventing you from using it on any device you own.

Buy CDs instead and rip them you your computer in MP3.

You keep your music by making back ups and retaining devices that will play the file format.

Manage and back up your iTunes media library - Apple Support

While I don't believe I fully understood your question, that article will guide you on how you can archive your iTunes Library. I would recommend this to anyone really. So essentially, once you have whatever music you want stored in iTunes, that is how you can go about backing it up. Keep a few externals handy and never lose them. Music that you have purchased through iTunes will be associated with your Apple ID so if you should ever load that music on another computer, you will be asked to authenticate your ownership by way of your Apple ID and password that was used to purchase it in the first place if you want to play it.

So do people keep calling you until they get the correct phone? Do you carry them all? Don't the tons weigh you down?

I am just curious since I buy MP3s and put them in my iPhone, but I am curious of how to transfer them to my Note 5 and S7 Edge. Maybe I am gonna pay them at the Play store.

For that part of the equation, I have no experience.

I have one phone number, and is buying music then transferring them to Samsung Galaxy Note 5 or S7 Edge illegal?

You may transfer music you've purchased from the iTunes Store to other devices you personally own. It's only illegal if you put them on someone else's device.

How did you work that out with you cell provider? How much does that cost per month?

No, it is not illegal. If you bough the CDs, ripped them, put them on your thousands of dollars of needless devices and then sold or gave away the CDs that would be illegal. I recommend the CD route since they are at much higher audio quality so they will sound better if you have good audio equipment at home and in your car.

Well you do have to pay once to get it from iTunes.
