Buying songs you've downloaded from Apple Music?

I just started using Apple Music and have made a playlist with songs I've downloaded. Since they won't transfer to my iPod Nano, I was going to buy the songs. But when I click on the song and go to the iTunes store, it won't let me buy it, only play.

I discovered I *can* buy the song once it's been deleted from my library, but that seems like an awful way to go about this. Is there another solution? Something that won't destroy my playlist?

Windows, Windows 10

Somebody else had this issue too.

Jun 2016: Apple Music: How to Purchase A Song After Streaming in Apple Music - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7594168 - "Highlight the song, click on the three dots ... click on "Go To" > click on "Show In iTunes Store" > click on the buy button. You can buy the entire Album or just the Song. "... "Apparently, I had purchased the song from an album and also had an "Apple music" copy. Once I removed the "Apple music" copy from the playlist, I added the purchased version to the playlist and it worked."

Hi,

As previously mentioned, you need to delete the Apple Music version before you can buy the track. Once you have deleted them, go to iTunes Store where you will now see the tracks available to purchase.

Unfortunately, all the songs I download from Apple Music are showing up without the buy button in the iTunes Store. So, it's not because I've already purchased them.

I just thought there would be an easier way to buy individual songs I've downloaded without deleting them from my library first.
