iTunes on Windows unable to preview songs (get popup for Apple Music trial).

I buy logs of individual songs in itunes after previewing them, usually from my iphone. However, I wish to preview then purchase songs via iTunes on Windows as well (iTunes 12.10.7.3 on Windows 10 64-bit).


I have the latest update to iTunes app on windows. However, whenever I click the little play icon next to a song in itunes to get preview, I now instead get a popup window advertising a try and buy plan (3 months free then $9.99/month) for Apple Music. There is no way to turn off this popup...if I try to preview 10 songs, I get the popup 10 times. Only option is to exit the popup...no option to hear a song preview.


Has Apple thus disabled ability to preview music on windows without buying Apple Music subscription?

Windows, Windows 6

Nevermind...I found the issue.


In iTunes, if selector at top of screen is on "Browse" which can search/find songs in store...you cannot use it to preview.

If I instead move selector to Store and do the same search, preview now works.
