Composer identification by Siri

When I ask Siri who the composer of a particular piece of music is, she replies with the name of the piece of music and the musicians playing it, but not who composed it. I can't work out - after many attempts - how to ask the question so I get the answer! It's the same information given on the i-tunes "currently playing" listing - the composer's name is absent.

Why does Siri play variations of a song that I didn’t ask for? When asking to play a song from the title or title and band name, Siri will play the live version, remastered (not always an issue) or an alternate version of the song without me asking for it. I don’t regularly play these versions when searching on my phone so I don’t think it’s making the suggestion based on listening history. It’s not like I don’t like alternate versions to songs; for example Soundgarden’s outtake version of Rusty Cage is my favourite; but I generally just want to listen to the original when not specifying anything more. I wouldn’t have thought this is something you can turn off but would appreciate it if anyone had any tips on the situation.

Apple Music doesn't identify the composer of each music piece The 1991 Christmas Concertos by The English Concert and Trevor Pinnock (Deutsche Gramophon Archiv Produktion; "Lossless" in Apple Music) is a compilation of music from seven different composers. Unfortunately, Apple Music omits to identify which composer corresponds to each of the music pieces. Really...not good enough, Apple Music! (this just an example of what unfortunately happens with a significant number of recordings in Apple Music) [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Trying to identify songs with Siri in Ventura Trying to identify some songs using Siri. Before Ventura, I played the song I wished to identify with Audacity and Siri would listen and mostly provide an answer as to song and artist name. Now with Ventura when it listens it seems to cut off audio, and then says can not identify song. I've tried very simple songs as test with same result. It appears that when Siri response to "What song is this." the audio, I've played songs using Audacity or Music, is cut off and thus as it hears nothing, can not provide answer. Like said, using same procedure before Ventura this worked just fine. Any thoughts or suggestions?? Thanks in advance for your help.
