Apple Music

How does Apple or content providers ( record labels) agree to submit the full track version or a shortened (radio edit) and how does the end user, subscriber know as it’s not always made clear. I predominantly use Apple Music for techno tracks but certain labels do not give me the full version and I have to use alternative subscription platforms for the full versions.

iPhone SE, iOS 14

previewing Apple Music I can't listen to a song to decide if it's the version I want when I click the preview button. Immediately i receive a message to bundle or start a free trial. Either way, it's a commitment to another payment. It's 2023 and I can't listen to any song individually prior to a decision to purchase?

Dolby Atmos version of previously downloaded tracks (iTunes Match) I have been using iTunes match since release and my library has an array of songs that have come from CDs, purchases etc. Recently I started subscribing to Apple Music. What I want to know is whether there is a way to get an Apple Music version (including Atmos) of a track that has matched before using iTunes Match but there is an Atmos version on Apple Music. I have tried deleting download and re-downloading but doesnt appear to get Atmos version as the icon isnt showing on the playing screen. Is there any other way to 'refresh' tracks rather than adding a duplicate Apple Music version? I tried sharing playlist with myself as I know that forces Apple Music version for other people but that didnt work eiter.

Buy music after subscribed to Apple Music seems to be impossible. Why is it so hard / impossible to buy a music title after subscribing to Apple Music? There is no option to buy the track. If I just add a track to library, I can't burn the track on a mix-cd. That's extremely annoying. That is simply crap. What is wrong about buying music? Do I have to unsubscribe to buy music again?

Content providers, artists, labels etc... upload what every they want to upload.

Apple has no control over what the right holders choose to upload. If they upload a shortened version instead of the full version it is entirely under the control of the artist, or provider of the content.
