So, I've generally gotten along well with Siri, but for some reason, she can't find stuff that is in my library sometimes. I will ask her to play a song (while driving for example so that I don't have to navigate the Music app while behind the wheel). She'll come back with a, "I can't find that." I go to the Music app, and the song and artist is there. In this case, it is a song that has been made available for offline play from Apple Music. I ask Siri again, and I see that she is understanding me, spelling the artist name correctly and all that. Still, she can't find it. I turn my internet off and select the song manually to ensure that it is indeed available for offline play, and it is, playing with no problem.

I am blaming this on Apple Music until I get a better explanation. Siri can some songs, others she can't find (Apple Music songs and songs from my own library). Not sure what the issue is.

One more big annoyance: I have the entire Beatles catalog on my phone ripped into iTunes from my CD collection. If I ask Siri to play that, she says that she can't stream the Beatles music. I don't want her to stream the Beatles music. It's physically stored in the phone. Just play it. The only time I use Siri is while driving so that I can select songs without taking my eyes off the road. Hopefully Siri will get better with iOS 9.

Anyone else getting issues like these?
