New 'Music' app using 30 GB of memory and increasing

Installed Catalina today and started the new Music app playing in the background. Later I saw that there were some memory usage alerts and then saw that the Music app was stated as using 30 GB of memory (I have 16 GB on my MBP).

Closed the app and started it up again. It began by using about 250 MB of memory. But then memory usage going up by about 15 MB every second. A few minutes later and I'm already back yp to 3.5 GB and climbing.

Is anybody else seeing this?

I have this problem too, it's definitely a fault in Catalina Music, or so. I did leave it running overnight but no solution. Its eating up all my memory starting with a kind of normal usage, but still no album art, just a few. I know this for sure because Audirvana is working perfectly with showing all the album art.
