Music app freezes when I search local library.

Anybody's Music app freezing with the ugly spinning beachball when they try to search their local library? This started happening in 12.3 but still happening in 12.3.1 (Monterey)


Using the most current Music app with Monterey 12.3.1

Try holding down option+cmd as you launch Music which opens it in its safe mode and may sometimes resolve odd issues with the database. Try also View > Show Filter Field which you might find works better when searching for content in the library.
