Play Music by Artist

I'm trying to figure out a way to listen to all songs by an Artist so that I can decide which songs I want to add to my Library. Is there anyway to do this?


I see there was a post from almost 5 years ago asking a similar question:

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7959406

Has there been any update on this issue?


This question is not limited to any device / software. Mac, iOS, Windows, Dedicated Application or Web Client is fine. I'm asking if there is any solution using Apple Music.

You would have to make a playlist of all the available songs/albums by the artist and then play the playlist. You don't have to add everything to your library (unless you have the option to add anything you add to a playlist to your library) and then you can play the playlist.

There is an option for most artists a little play symbol near the top of the artist page, but that will only play the ones Apple Music has listed as "Top Songs", not an artists entire library.

It is something that should have been added to Apple Music long ago. Try giving your feedback at apple.com/feedback
