Baffled - how to give Amazon digital music as a gift? [View all]

I was planning to give a family member some MP3 downloads as a gift via Amazon, but it looks like they're no longer doing this. This person is a Windows computer user with an Android phone who doesn't use iTunes and prefers Amazon MP3 downloads for music gifts.

This page on Lifewire has a lengthy explanation titled "How to Gift Someone With a Digital MP3 Through Amazon." BUT embedded in the page is this message:

It is no longer possible to gift MP3s through Amazon; however, you can send someone an Amazon gift card, which can be used to purchase music.

OH, thanks!! I guess they're leaving the article up in case the time machine is invented and people will be able to travel back to when it was possible to buy Amazon digital music and give it as a gift!


Giving a gift card accompanied by a list of recommended music purchases seems a little less appealing.

Anybody have any recent experience with giving digital music as a gift via Amazon (or anywhere else one can purchase MP3s these days)? Am I getting so old that even this is old-fashioned??
