Download MP3 File On Your Android Phone

The easiest method of downloading music onto your Android device is by connecting to your PC or Mac with a USB cable. However, as many people no longer own computers, this guide will show you how to download an MP3 file on your Android phone...

Download an MP3 file from your browser to your files folder

STEP 1 - Open up your web browser on your phone, for example, Chrome or Samsung Internet. 

STEP 2 - Visit the webpage with the MP3 you want to download.

STEP 3 - Press the download button to initiate the download of the MP3 file. A pop up should appear to notify you the download is in progress. 

STEP 4 - Wait for the MP3 file to download - confirmation of download completed will be in your notifications, allowing you to access the download directly. 

STEP 5 - To find your MP3 download, navigate to My Files > Audio, where the file at the top of the list is your download. 

 

STEP 6 - To find the specific location of where your download has saved, press and hold to bring up the menu at the bottom. Click ‘more’ then ‘details’ to see the file location. 

You might also choose to move the MP3 file into a specific folder in order to locate it quickly for use or onto an SD card which is inserted into your phone to increase storage space. 

If you’re struggling for storage space on your android phone, you can also use cloud storage for your MP3 files.
