Mary, You are right. Siri is good at finding pizza places and finding pop music of various kinds. An aside story that is rather humorous. The other day, I wanted to learn information about the Taj Mahal, She said, "I find one listing for the Taj Mahal. It is a very far place from you." OK, right. I guess you go there to get pizza. However, I just checked and now she has the right information. My point being, that if enough people let apple know that their use of Siri to find classical music is quite poor, perhaps it too will change. One never knows.

It is very hit and miss. I did get it to play a whole symphony once. Other times, it doesn't think I own stuff I do own. So I think it's just a matter that Siri doesn't get the names of the conductors composers artist whoever.
