Hello everyone.

Is there a way to directly download a mp3-file from an URL, without use of any apps?

I am developing a concept where the users should be able to scan a QR or follow an URL to download a free song I will provide (I own the legal rights).
I have trouble finding any solution for this.

Thank you in advance.

Download, as in to the Music app?

No, there is no way to do that directly, it would have to go through iTunes. Otherwise, a 3rd party app would be required.
 
Download the free VLC player and give it the download link. That might work.

Can't download it to the iOS music app without using iTunes on the desktop.

You can do this easily for Android, iOS no as virtually everthing has to go though iTunes.
 
You can download an mp3 to your phone if you have the right app and the web address that you are trying to download from... VLC. VLC player is available in the app store. You do not have to jail break your phone.

VLC has a download function in the main menu where you enter in the URL of the media you want to download and it will save the mp3 or other media file to your phone.
