All songs and albums sold on Android Market are 320kbps MP3 music files. You can stream your music through the Google Music player on any web browser or your Android phone or tablet. You can also download the file to your computer, burn it to a CD, archive it on your hard drive, and so forth -- so long as it’s for your own personal, non-commercial use.
The MP3 file format is the most widely used audio format for consumer audio storage. It is compatible with iTunes, Windows Media Player, and almost all portable music players.
