Hi Mary, I, too got a nice surprise when fiddling with Apple Music yesterday. Since this thread came up yesterday, I did a search on the Bach Brandenburg concertos from the Academy of St. Martin In The Fields, which I purchased on CD at Tower Records in Westwood back in 1994. I promptly added it to my library, then went looking for some of my favorite Mozart string quartets and found some, but I don't know if they match the recordings that I also bought at Tower. I'm still very interested in what the new Apple Music service has to offer but will reserve judgment regarding going beyond the free trial. As some have already said, selection is hit and miss and I certainly won't use Siri for music searches. Siri's very handy for some things but downright stupid for others. Oh yeah, and as a side note, I did a search and couldn't find ANY Beatles albums: not one. Hmmm.
