Here’s the List of the Top 10 Free Music Download Apps for Android:

Conclusion
There are numerous applications that can download MP3 files for free, some of the best are listed above. Of all these APKs I feel that though AudioMack and NewPipe are really good downloaders, they still have ads being presented which tends to get frustrating after a while.
Some apps are not available on the Play Store though they are safe to use, these applications have either been removed or banned from Google’s Play Store simply because they don’t comply with Google’s Policies but the APK files can be downloaded from their official sites.
