Music app only plays downloaded music after latest Monterey update

Hi all,


Since updating to macOS 12.2.1, Music only plays downloaded music in my library. If I browse Apple Music and hit play on an album or playlist, no track info appears & it does not play.

If I add that album etc. to my library it plays. I can also play downloaded music (either music I've chosen to download or ripped from CD or saved to disk).

It's not a sound issue. Sound from other apps, notifications, alerts etc. work fine wither through the MBP speakers or BT. It's also not an account issue as I have a Sonos system that plays anything that I've either addd to my library or browsed.

Music also works through the app on my iPhone & iPad - just the Mac refuses to play anything streamed.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Cheers, Ian
