Allow user to pick between iTunes Music store and Apple Music for search results!

Why is Apple adding these dark patterns to the music experience?


When I search for something in the OSX Music app, I should be able to select if I want the results in streaming or downloads. Right now it forces users to view the streaming options, which I NEVER use. I buy music and download the files to use outside of the Music app. I PAY FOR APPLE MUSIC monthly fees because you essentially require me to, even though I never use streaming services at all.


When I search for a song in the iTunes store it used to go right to results where I could easily buy a track, now I have to click the ellipses and then "Show in iTunes Store". Why are you making users change the simple behavior that you pioneered 20 years ago. Not everyone wants to stream tracks.
