Basically put the @Deprecated annotation above the method you don't want (the buyAlbum method that accepts a String), and then make a buyAlbum method that takes in an integer.

public class MusicServiceUser {
  @Deprecated
  public void buyAlbum(String albumName) {
    // Leave this blank
  }

  public void buyAlbum(int albumID) {

  }
}
