Why is Apple forcing me to use Catalina "Music?!" I don't watch TV and now I can't to a lot with my music like I used to on itunes!

I don't want Catalina "Music!" It seems I can't do a lot of the things that I could previously do on itunes! I don't watch tv, so I don't care or need it!

Why can't I buy music for download from the iTunes Store? I launched music on my laptop (Older Macbook pro Catalina 10.15.7 - waiting for the new 15" before upgrading) When I go to the music app, I cannot preview songs I have looked up. I get a lame add for Apple Music and when I hit "Not Now" it goes into a loop and will not allow the preview. - And Yes, under preferences - General - Sync Apple music is 'Unchecked.' I also noticed there is no link to buy any song I looked up. Oh, I do have links to buy the crap music Apple is pushing. I cannot use steaming services based on my how I use my music. I must be able to download. So, Apple WTF did you do to the operating system to lock me out? I have already wasted too much time on this and will be buying my music elsewhere, if there isn't a simple fix. So, Good Job on losing the money I give you.

Itunes library and apple TV Why is my music library on my AppleTV different from that on my Mac, Iphone and Ipad? Where does this library actually come from as a lot of songs are missing. I have read many articles with regard to Apple Music subscriptions but I do not wish to do that. I am unable to upgrade to Catalina on Mac as I still need to access the Microsoft Office versions that I have which become incompatible. thanks

Upgrading to Catalina was optional. See What happened to iTunes? - Apple Support for details of the change. The main change with respect to music is the loss of the column browser and optional artwork in the songs views. What is it that you cannot do in the new app?
