Pandora – How to Buy Songs and Listen on Google Play

google-playmusicpandora

All the music I've bought is on Google Play. Over on Pandora, I've given "thumbs up" to a lot of tracks. I'd like to buy the Pandora tracks and listen to them in Google Play. But Pandora only seems to offer the ability to buy music from iTunes or Amazon MP3.

buy music from iTunes or Amazon MP3

I don't want to search for the track names on Google Play, since there may be 20 mixes of the same song, and I want the specific mix I thumbed up. Is there a way to buy these great tracks from Pandora and listen to them on Google Play?

Best Answer

If you cannot manually locate the song on Google Play, you can download the song from iTunes or Amazon after you've purchased the song and then use the Google Play service to listen to them. Google actually is running a promo on this right now.
