Perhaps not entirely on topic in a newsgroup devoted to the ipad, but
you can use apple music on the ipad.
Is there any way to find out if a particular album is available on apple music without actually registering or subscribing to the service (not even a free trial)?
For instance, I'm curious whether or not the following two albums are available on apple music:
https://www.allmusic.com/album/intertwining-spirits-mw0000910298
https://www.allmusic.com/album/urban-griot-mw0000011699
Apple music advertises with the claim that they have 100 million
tracks on offer, but somehow they are seemingly reluctant to
offer an overview of the music they have available.
Perhaps there is someone here who has a subscription who can
show a screenshot to illustrate that these albums are indeed available
in their proclaimed comprehensive music collection?
That would be very much appreciated, but given that competing
streaming music services like spotify and deezer don't seem to have
those albums (while they do offer people the service of freely exploring their catalog), I reckon it's unlikely apple actually has those albums.
As expected the albums are missing from their music collection (making
the claim of having 100 million tracks on offer somewhat doubtful).

Ah, I see it's possible to browse the collection without any subscription shenanigans.

Nah. It's not doubtful at all. Apple has never claimed to have every
album by every artist in their library.
So what would be a realistic estimate of the percentage of music that
has been released in the past that is available through such streaming services offering 100 million tracks? More like 40% or more like 80%?
I'm certainly glad I collect music myself, so I'm not at the mercy of
these tech molochs like apple that can decide on a whim to remove
music from the collection they offer access to.

Neither of these albums are on Spotify either, which leads me to
believe the artists chose to not make them available via streaming.
Not some nefarious plot by Apple.

Well, assuming that music released for commercial reasons is typically produced in larger quantities, you might pick some arbitrary minimal
number like at least 500 copies being produced for sale (though
perhaps these days with online distribution that has kind of changed
compared to the past when albums were released on vinyl or cd).
