Getting music on to an iphone

[whatausername]

There's an album I want to give DM for Christmas.
She doesn't have Spotify as she tried it and "couldn't get on with it." She doesn't have a CD player and uses a tablet so no access to a disc drive.
The album shows in Apple music ?store but I don't see a buy option. DM does have an iphone though so can play music through that.
How do I get her the album? It doesn't have to be a secret if that helps.

You could buy a downloadable version of the cd and save it to Dropbox on her phone. She will need the Dropbox Ap to play the music but won't need apple/iTunes/Spotify etc to listen.

I've only just twigged that Apple Music is a streaming service which is why there is no buy button 😂

I have iTunes Store on my iPad and seem to be able to buy albums and songs.

You need iTunes to buy music.

Sorry for the xpost 🫣
