Hey all,
Today I was listening to Beats1, and noted some good songs that I've heard through the evening. But unfortunately, when trying to find them on Apple Music, it shows me no results. How do they play songs, which are not even available on their own streaming service?
Examples:
Laura Mvula - Overcome (Royce Wood JR remix)
Kojey Radical - Kwame Nkrumah

That probably explains it.

The catalogue is different in every country for licensing reasons. Certain artists and albums might not be available in certain countries.

When I migrated my library to China I found certain artists weren't on there when they had been on Apple Music in the uk.

Is it frustrating? Probably.
