Music App plays songs slow! Mac mini M1 Monterey 12.1

The Music App plays songs slow sometimes. Like running a 45 rpm record at 33. Very weird. Closing the app and starting again may fix the issue or a reboot. All songs are on the computer.

This M1 MAC MINI has been plagued with issues but this Music app is very annoying.


Any suggestions for a music app that works well on the M1?

Hi, Lori,


I had the same issue. Here's how I fixed it:


(1) Quit Music.

(2) Hold down the Option key, and restart Music. You'll get a pop-up that says "Choose Music Library."

(3) Click "Choose Library..." then go to your Music folder and select your music library (it should just be called "Music Library").

(4) Enjoy your music at regular speed.
