Music Library

The error "The Music Library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occured (-3201)" keeps coming up and I am not sure what the issue is & can't remember when it started. Any suggestions?

iMac Pro, macOS 11.2

Reboot your computer. Use the option-start-Music method to explicitly select your active Music Library.musiclibrary file. You can try holding down option+cmd as you launch Music which opens it in safe mode, which can sometimes fix odd issues with the library. You might also right-click on your active Music Library.musiclibrary file and use Show Package Contents. Check for hidden .tmp files inside. If these are present it suggests that you have have third party security software that is stopping music from updating the library files correctly.
