Can someone talk me through getting to search then buy a song on iTunes. Seems extremely complicated and near impossible to find the song I want. I don’t want to sync up or subscribe, just buy a few songs. Working great on Amazon but impossible on iTunes. Thank you
iMac 27″, macOS 12.6
The following may help with searching. If you get that to work and still have trouble buying, please reply.
In the Music app menu bar, choose Music > Settings or Preferences > General and insure Show iTunes Store is selected.
Then click in the search box at the top of the left sidebar and then click the iTunes Store option at the top right of the main window as shown in the example in Buy music from the iTunes Store - Apple Support
If the 3 options don't appear at the top right of the main window after doing the above, 2 things to try:
1) If the View menu in the menu bar contains "Hide Playing Next" or "Hide Lyrics" then click that item so that it changes to "Show Playing Next" or "Show Lyrics."
2) If there is a very small < at the top left of the main window (to the right of the sidebar search box), click it one or more times until there is no < there.

That my friend works! Finally! Thanks for your very helpful input on this frustrating issue I’ve been having. All the best to you
