iTunes used to have a feature where you can view multiple versions of the same song by different artists. Is there still a way to do this without having to search through the entire iTunes store? That way takes forever and I have to sample tracks that are completely unrelated, but just happen to have the same title. Why in the world would the dumb iTunes geeks take this feature away. Someone please help. Thanks!

I've been searching for that option also, Thmusic7. Used to like the choice of comparing the same song by different artists.I wish they would bring it back as sometimes the alternate version is better than the original.
You had to search by the title. If that is not working - report it as a bug to apple.
Have not purchased anything from ITUNES in years - but I do remember buying a couple songs by title -
then I went out and just purchased the CD's they were on and loaded all the songs into ITUNES without the hassle.
Hello notcloudy. Here's what I'm asking. If there is a song I like in iTunes, there's a feature where you can choose an option to look up the track, artist, and album in the iTunes store. BUT on the price tab where they have the features to gift song or share, they used to have a feature where you could look up the SAME song by a different artist. It would be that exact song, but a different version. Now I have to type it in manually, and it often gives me a list of songs that have the same title name, but are not the same song. That is a real hassle. Is that feature no longer available?
Have not been in ITUNES Store in quite awhile but
If it was a function, it would rely on the person or persons who authored the song to insure you did get the same lyrics so to speak.
So, if you didn't know the artist you wanted - or the authors of the song - you would have to sample them until you hit the correct one.
Itunes did grow over time - and if they did have cross reference by authors they may have removed it - on the other hand like searches may have worked because of a limited database at the time - it did seem to start adding songs based on searches that brought up nothing one time - and a month later there they were.
ITUNES has over time added restrictions - for instance at some point - you had to allow this computer on Itunes in order to have itunes synchronize to an IPOD (I purchased about 6 songs on old mac - after migration synchronized fine until they stopped - finally mac allowed more than one device so I could add this one and synchronization started again).
Here are latest restrictions with windows and Mac if you want to burn CD's of your itunes
