I have the iPhone 4s with the latest OS. When I don't have the song in my music that I asked SIRI to play, I have the option on the screen to Search the iTunes store and the song is right there for me to download. I have to run my finger down the face of the phone to reach the option that says Search iTunes Store because the swipe gesture doesn't work on that SIRI screen. Klaus

So does this work with all iPhones or only with the iPhone 6? Here is why I am asking this. I have an iphone 5C and my wife has a 6. We downloaded the latest version of ios8 to try Apple Music. As the article indicates, Donna can ask Siri to play any song and it is played. If I ask for a song that is not in my music library, Siri Says I have looked for that song and it is not in your library. Why am I not able to hear songs in the Apple Music library by asking Siri? Sometimes I think Siri doesn't really like me.
