I want to buy/download one album. How do I even find it? I can't find a 'search' thingy in iTunes Store as it appears in the Music residing on app on my Mac. I see suggestions in a bunch of different categories but I don't want suggestions, I want a specific album.
I don't want to stream or subscribe or whatever else. Download it and listen to it from my own local music library.
MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 14.6
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 on your Mac - 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.
Closing and reopening the Music app has also been reported to be needed in some cases.
It worked — thank you!
I suppose that should have been obvious.......
Not at all obvious -- lots of people with that same question!
How to 'search' iTunes Store and purchase an album?
