Hello,

I subscribed to the 1 month trial of apple music and I ran into an issue, that is making me know want to continue after the 1 month trial.

so I downloaded an Aerosmith's album called Devil's got a new disguise. and only the songs from 1to 6 and 15 to 17 would download, the rest are greyed out.

and if I go to the iTunes store, and search the album, the songs that didn't download show "album only" beside them.

why is that?

thanks,

Hi!

For some reason (probably licensing issues or something), those tracks are "album only" songs on iTunes. That means you can only get them if you purchase the whole album.

I've noticed with some albums (not all of them) when there are "album only" songs on iTunes then those songs are not available con Apple Music.

I guess the label has to manually send an update to Apple Music to make those songs available on streaming too.

Hope it helps!
