(running macOS Big Sur)
Hello snow_aster,
To help resolve this issue try testing in a new library with new downloaded content:
Switch libraries with the Apple Music app in macOS - Apple Support
Switch libraries with the Apple Music app in macOS
If you have multiple iTunes libraries, learn how to switch between them in the Apple Music app in macOS Catalina or later.
How to switch iTunes libraries
1. Press and hold the Option key, then open the Apple Music app.
2. In the window that appears, click Choose Library.
3. Select the iTunes library that you want to switch to.
4. Click Choose.
You can also test in a new user account to see if the same thing occurs:
Set up users, guests and groups on Mac - Apple Support
Best Regards.
