Can I buy songs even though I have Apple Music subscription?

I'd like to buy songs even though I have Apple Music so I can add to my legacy iPod synced playlist. iTunes Store won't let me buy it, the price next to the songs say play. Please advise.

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."

Is there a better way to do the whole playlist? Your proposed solution means I'll have to delete each song in my playlist and then re "add" it back to the playlist once purchased. Pretty tedious since I was hoping to do multiple playlist. But this may be my only option.??

I did a web search and apart form somebody mentioning building an Automator workflow and using it with iTunes I didn't see anything. Let me know if you find something.
