Apple Music not playing anything except radio. Endless Authorization loop

Apple Music will not play any songs that I have liked and added to my library, on my iPad and iPhone. After clicking to authorize I will be given this "random".m4p error

Greetings, drownedbypanda.


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. It’s understandable that you’d want to authorize your computer in order to listen to Apple Music. 


Check out the steps here: Authorize or deauthorize your computer for iTunes Store purchases 


Should the issue persist, consider answering the following questions.


  • Which Mac and macOS version are you using?
  • How many computers do you have authorized?
  • Has Apple Music ever worked on this Mac before?


Sincerely.

  • Macbook Pro 13" M1 Latest macOS
  • Only this macbook pro is authorized, deathorized every other computer trying to fix the problem
  • Apple Music has never worked for this Mac


Also it may be worth mentioning that I am trying to play music through my subscription to Apple Music and not individually purchased/owned songs. Subscription works on iPhone and iPad.
