Apple Music playing the wrong version of the song

This question has been asked many times, but I have not been able to find an answer. I have already reported feedback to Apple many times, with no changes. I personally think this may be a bug between iTunes Match and Apple Music.


I pay for both iTunes Match and Apple Music, and both are active subscriptions.


The situation is that I will be on my phone or Mac and I will search Apple Music, not Library for a song. When I play it, the song will the incorrect version.


When I search Nirvana - Nevermind and play the album, the first song Smells Like Teen Spirit plays as the live from From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah, instead of the studio album version. I do not have any versions of the song downloaded to the device, they are streaming. I believe I added From


When I search Metallica - Seek and Destroy and play the song from Apple Music (not Library), the live version from their Live in Chicago album (that I used iTunes Match to add to library).


A quick search on the forums will show that this appears to be a problem for many, maybe I missed a solution within all of the results, but I really want to debug and try to get this problem resolved. I have sent feedback to Apple, as have many others on here, but the issue remains. And it's very frustrating since it is a service(s) that we are paying for!
