itunes preview not working on all songs

I like to preview new music on iTunes and about 2 weeks ago it started not previewing all songs. Some albums I can and some I can't. It's pretty frustrating. I am not subscribed to Music and I did go turn it off based on some other Q&As from last year. Didn't help. Has anyone else started experiencing this lately?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15

You are beyond me on that technical stuff, sadly— all I know is I’m in the habit of buying the songs I like, and one of the ways I decide what I like is to do previews of pre-order songs. And now, most of the time, I can’t do that without using Siri. It’s really bad. And I’m also having trouble syncing to IMac through Finder now, this is a new development for me.

No question that Apple is not investing in ITunes, it’s like an orphan without offspring.

I probably wouldn’t waste the time or effort doing that. No one else who called about it received that advice.

They have something set up in their system causing this issue. Maybe so Music subscribers get first dibs? Doesn’t stop you from actually buying, just not previewing beforehand, so that would be a silly thing to do.

I know someone monitors this because they deleted one of my post, but not someone who really went off on Apple in a reply to my post.

So you’d think that person(s) would pass the word they have a growing list of dissatisfied customers
