Music keeps crashing. I recently unsubscribed to Apple Music but I have many songs on my computer. In this OS I can no longer find a library.

Will the Music app not work on my Mac Pro laptop if I don't subscribe to Apple Music?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.13

Try holding down option as you launch Music, wait until the prompt to choose or create a library, click Choose, then browse to and open your library, normally ~/Music/Music/Music Library.musiclibrary. You can hold try holding down option+cmd when launching Music to open the library in safe mode which may repair certain internal errors. You do not need to subscribe to Apple Music.
