    From David Kennedy@21:1/5 to All on Mon Feb 6 11:04:02 2023
    With Music and previously with iTunes I could search a track or artist and preview the item.
    Today when searching a particular track - Simon Bolivar, Sensamaya - all I'm offered is the chance to subscribe to Apple Music...
    Am I missing something or is this now the new policy, buy before you try?

    I thought this was still possible. Well at least on iOS?

    So that's it, I need to bin the Mac and go over to an iPad as my main machine...

    Cracked it!

    You have to actively select "show iTunes store" in preferences.

    It's almost as if they want you to choose to subscribe to Apple Music...
