Re: Apple Music search anomaly

2019-03-19 Thread Wayne Merritt
I have had the same experience, where I could not find a song by
title, but searched by artist and found songs. In my case, I was
looking for an early 90's rock song. I found the gentleman who
recorded several songs for a band, but I could not find the band or
the song by title. Weird how these things work. It seems like Apple
Music has 95% of the music out there, but I have noticed some music
that they don't have, perhaps the music is more obscure. There have
been times when I find music on YouTube that does not exist on Apple
Music.

It has been that way since the beginning. Searching the artist gives the best 
results, even when searching for an album. I guess I just think it is one of 
those "that's the way it goes"  situations.

Apple Music search anomaly

2019-03-17 Thread Malcolm Parfitt
Hello,

I was looking for a song yesterday on Apple Music.  I typed the title in the 
search box and hit Search.  The song I wanted was not listed so I chose the 
Show All button.  The song still was not listed.

I concluded that they did not have the particular track I was looking for.

I then looked for the song on Google which found it and gave me the artist too.

I then put the artist into Apple Music’s search and the track I wanted was 
listed.  So putting the title into the search did not yield the result I wanted 
but using the artist as my search gave me the result I wanted.

So it would appear to me that Apple have some work to do on their search 
algorithm.
