After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.
There's just some music that isn't available to download/stream with Apple Music. I've noticed this a lot with lesser known and obscure albums - like the soundtrack shown in the screenshot.
I did a quick search on iTunes on my Mac and didn't find the album listed on Apple Music. Due to licensing agreements with the record labels or artists, songs aren't guaranteed to be available on Apple Music forever. You could listen to an album one day and literally the next day it might be unavailable. It all depends on the terms of the licensing agreement.
If you really want to listen to that album (if you manage to get your hands on a physical copy) you can rip it using iTunes and transfer it to your iPhone. Even better, if you have iTunes Match, it will be available to download over the air right after it is ripped.
I purchased the album about 7 years ago via digital download through the Microsoft store during the time I owned a Zune media player.
I am new to forums so forgive me if i seem amateurish. I have had this same issue for a while now. I started reading up on it in these types of forums and groups... Not sure why it happens.... could be a multitude of reasons.... The solution for me was simple.. If you right click on the song or the album, all the way at the bottom of the drop down window click on "check the selection". I did a Sync on my iPhone and it worked. Hope this helps.
