Why can I no longer preview songs in the iTunes store?

In the past when visiting the iTunes Store (via Music app) on my Mac, I could search for a song or artist, review the list of songs that appeared, and play a short clip of a song. Now when I try to do that, I get a pop-up to “Try Apple Music for 3 months free" OR “No Thanks” with no opportunity to hear a sample. What if you want to hear a sample before you buy? And can you no longer buy songs/albums? Is signing up for Apple Music the only option?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.13

You can still buy songs and albums in the iTunes Store and still preview them using the Music app -- both without an Apple Music subscription. See the iTunes Store section of the following for information on how to access the iTunes Store using the Music app in Catalina: Add and download music from Apple Music or buy music from the iTunes Store - Apple Support
