My sincere thanks to everyone who has chimed in on this thread. I have an Apple Music subscription myself. The chief reason for my keeping it is the large database of classical music recordings it contains. However, sometimes, as I said, the search results are not granular enough. The other day, while perusing the library results, a composer's name was omitted from the list of result fields. This is the kind of omission a listener to other genres might not usually worry about, but in a classical music context involving more than one composer, it could be crucial. I may try the Primephonic service, and if I do, I'll report to the list. For those who missed it, Primephonic is devoted exclusively to classical music recordings. I know of no other online music service that claims this specialization. Unfortunately, the app gets very poor ratings.
