Automatic Downloads for Apple Music Monterey Keeps turning Off

Hello-

I just got a new 2021 MacBook pro. When in music the automatic downloads keeps turning off. I did a complete wipe and clean install and the problem persists. Is this a possible Monterey issue?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 12.0

Monterey Music app stops playing tracks after 10 seconds - solution? Yesterday Music app suddenly stopped playing tracks after 10 seconds - every track I played simply ended 10 seconds into the song. The problem extends to all tracks: Apple Music, iTunes Store purchases and uploads from CDs. I've signed in and out of Apple Music, toggled Dolby Atmos, restarted the computer, all the usual things. I'm running a 2021 M1 iMac running Monterey 12.0.1 and Music app 1.2.0.273. Does anyone have any idea what the problem is or, better still, how to solve it?

Screen flickers when downloading songs in Music. Why is it that the screen flickers every time I download a song in music (And flickers for every song. So if album has 12 songs, I get 12 flickers) . I currently bought a new MacBook Pro 13" and had to redownload my music library (5000 plus songs = 5000 screen flickers). This is not the only MacBook I have noticed that does this. Is this an Apple Music issue? All I know is that it is extremely irritating.

You're not the only one! I have three separate installs of Monterey all with the same issue.
