Mac Apple Music app does not allow purchase of music

I have the latest MacOS (11.6). I have a new M1 iMac. I've rebooted it, checked the Music App and it is up to date. I've also signed out and in on to my Apple account in the App. There is simply is no way to purchase music through this app. It only allows subscribing to Apple Music.
