Got Catalina. The new Music.app won't start now, just sits there in the dock and bounces. The only option is to force quit and waiting forever leads to nothing opening, just it saying "Application Not Responding" on right click.
Any idea how to fix this? I have suspicions that it's somehow a permissions error but I don't know how to change that as it's in the read-only file system...
The new Podcasts and TV apps work fine though. It's just Music.
Hi Graytr,
I understand that you are unable to launch the Music app in macOS Catalina.
I would recommend starting your device in Safe Mode to test if the issue continues to occur. You can learn how to do so here: How to use safe mode on your Mac.
If the issue persists, the next step would be to test in a new User Account. You can learn how to do so here: How to test an issue in another user account on your Mac.
If the issue persists in a new User Account, I would encourage you reinstall macOS. You can learn how to do so here: How to reinstall macOS from macOS Recovery.
If you continue to have the issue, please don't hesitate to report back for further guidance.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers!

I was super surprised but opening Music on a new user worked just fine, and I was then able to open it on the original user too. Thanks for the help. Would still like to know what actually went wrong though haha.
