How do I search the iTunes Store?

Hello, I've done exactly as suggested above, yet I can still only search for music on my Mac Air (early 2015) and not in the iTunes store. I'm running Monterey 12.2.1 and Music 12.2.40. I do not have an Apple Music subscrition. Any futher advice appreciated.

Hi MarcGib,

Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities! You'll want to ensure you select the the iTunes Store button in the upper-right corner of the Music app on your Mac. If you do not see the iTunes Store button, from the Music app, go to the top menu bar, select Music > Preferences > General tab, from here make sure that show iTunes Store is checked marked. The following article also has all the steps that can help, specifically the section "Buy music from the iTunes Store in the Apple Music app on your Mac":

Hope this helps!

Have a great day.
