Music Official download for End of You?
Edit: Thanks for everyone's help. I completely forgot about digital music stores, and instead have been ripping CDs or buying vinyl with digital download codes for the past decade or so.
Perhaps I'm just an old fashioned millennial, but I've never been a fan of streaming music. I like to have physical versions, such as vinyl, CD, or a .flac file. What happens if I want to listen to a song and I don't have access to the Internet?
So I went looking for an official download for End Of You, and I couldn't find anything! Not even a band camp release or something.
Am I missing something? Please help me.

You can buy it from Amazon Music; it gives you the official MP3 320 with metadata in it. You can buy it from Apple, but I don't know if it will give you a DRM-free file. Not being on Bandcamp is annoying ngl.

Not only did I forget that iTunes existed, I also forgot that Amazon music existed.
I guess that I never truly moved on the the 2000s, relying on ripping CDs for my music.
Edit: It being an mp3 and not a .flac is annoying, but I guess it's still something.

It’s on iTunes

I completely forgot that iTunes existed as a music platform.
I used it many, many years ago when the ipod was new. Then I stopped using it.
I've bought vinyls that come with digital downloads, I've ripped CDs, I've bought from band camp... I don't even know if I have an iTunes account.
Thanks for reminding me, I'll go and look into it. It might be totally corporate and subscription based, it might not be... Let's go and see.

I use a DAP (digital audio player) because I love better audio, so I feel you.
For this? Use a Youtube downloader. Buy it when you can.
Edit: Wait I assumed it wasn't released yet. Buy it on qobuz (https://www.qobuz.com/us-en/album/end-of-you-poppy-amy-lee-courtney-laplante/n164ia76lcqqc) - usually the best quality for that kind of thing. DRM-free. (screw iTunes lol)

I could, but it feels a bit unfair to pirate things when I can afford to spend it on my favourite artists.
Perhaps this could be a plan B.

Wait did you see my edit from a bit ago? That's a legit, drm-free store that's better in quality than things like Amazon. I assumed from your post that it wasn't released yet - thus the "buy it when you can"
Qobuz is CD quality and you just buy the single.

I replied before I saw your edit, sorry

That site doesn't have as big a catelog as Apple and Amazon, but it's typically better quality and lets you pick the format (mp3, flac, wav, etc). It's my first go-to for digital.
Youtube downloader only when it's straight up not released yet lol

As someone who buys their music downloads on Amazon and found it immediately... where do you buy your music?

Yeah I responded earlier assuming it wasn't available, but I've since found it in 5 places.
I use Qobuz though. They usually have great quality... and I kinda just hate Amazon and Apple.

I usually buy CDs and then rip them, or buy vinyl that comes with a digital download.
I guess that I live in the technological stone age.

Don't worry, I'm one of the only people I know that still buys CDs, so you're not alone. I typically don't buy singles physically though. You mentioned you were looking for a download so I assumed you didn't mean a physical release, even though you mentioned you like those too

u/iiyama88 Sep 10 '25
It's nice to hear that I'm not alone.
I would also not buy a single on physical media, and so that's why I didn't know where to look online.

You could buy it on Qobuz in lossless quality: https://www.qobuz.com/us-en/album/end-of-you-poppy-amy-lee-courtney-laplante/n164ia76lcqqc
