iTunes constantly hanging on matched music that won't play

I have a lot of music in iTunes Match that iTunes will just "hang" on while trying to listen to music. It just won't ever start playing. It's annoying that iTunes has decided to stop playing a bunch of my music, but I'm beyond the point where I care about that anymore. I just want it to stop hanging.


Is there any way to bulk identify these and uncheck them (e.g., not manually uncheck each song as it fails to play)? Driving me nuts. Have to hit that skip button constantly.

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.14

I'm not sure I can think of a way to identify such tracks automatically, though you could take a look at About iCloud Music Library icons and status - Apple Support and see if there is any pattern in the cloud status.
