Searching for owned music in the Music App

Within the Music App, how do I search MY LIBRARY for specific music which I actually OWN?


I have the CD's on site.


The search bar defaults to Apple Music, yet I can only search my own music by scrolling and looking.


I pay for Apple Music, but don't care for it. I'd like to buy some music from the iTunes store, but there is NO search feature on the Apple iTunes store, just "sync your library with icloud" which I DONT want to do for this particular use. Making an old iPhone act like a stand alone iPod.

The music app has tabs for the search results to switch between Apple Music (subscription service), your Library, and the iTunes Store.



If you don't see the tabs, click on the < to return to the main results page. You may need to do so more than once.

on the iTunes store, under resent releases, why are the titles not sorted by NAME of artist? No search function, not sorted by Name.

It may be difficult to find support for a version that was included with Mac OS Monterey. All I can say is that with Sequoia you can search the iTunes Store and you can also sort Recent Releases by Name.
