Apple TV-Apple Music

On my Apple TV, the Apple Music App plays the same song over and over on an album instead of advancing to the next song! Help!

Apple TV 4K (2022) won't play (can't find?) any of the music I "burned" from old CDs or bought on iTunes I just connected a new Apple TV 4K device (2022) to my LG TV and LG soundbar. When I go to the Music app, most of my own music (3,133 songs) is missing. There are only a couple of albums and a few other "loose" songs. What happened to my music? I can still see everything on my Mac, IPhone and iPad. When I look at the Account Settings in Music on my Mac, I don't see anything about an Apple TV. Under Manage Devices, I see my iPad Pro and iPhone listed, but it says these devices are associated for playing previously purchased music. As a side note, it says both of these devices aren't able to be associated with a different Apple ID. I doubt that's the problem I have with the Apple TV, but I wonder if that's going to cause a problem in a few more days. Thanks.

TVOS 16 won't allow me to click on the "even numbered" songs in my playlists! After upgrading to TVOS 16.0, when playing shared music from my iMac's playlists on my 2nd gen Apple TV 4K (using the "Computers" app, and selecting "Music"), I can no longer directly the select the "even numbered" songs in the playlists queue (i.e., the 2nd, 4th, 6th, etc.) on the Apple TV's screen. This happens whether shuffling the songs in the playlist, or playing them in order. I have tried quitting the app and starting again, choosing different playlists, re-starting the Apple TV, pulling the power plug for 1 minute on the Apple TV and then plugging it back in, and even resetting the Apple TV. Nothing works. The problem has persisted into TVOS 16.1. If I let the current song finish playing, it WILL advance to the next song. BUT, if I try using the Apple TV's remote to swipe to the next ("even-numbered") song on the TV screen, it skips over that song. It only acknowledges the NEXT "odd-numbered" song (i.e., the 3rd, 5th, 7th, etc.) as being "clickable." This happens swiping forward or backwards. Has anyone else had this problem with tvOS16? Any solutions? Apple support is looking into the problem, but has been stumped so far.
