Apple Music "stop" feature not working (Get Info > Options)

Question

Apple Music "stop" feature not working (Get Info > Options)

Apple Music "stop" feature not working (Get Info > Options), yet the "start" feature works. You check the box and set it a specified time, and then it should stop and play the next song when it hits your time. Yet when it plays, it just keeps going after it shows the song is finished (as pictured below, the song is playing past 30 seconds).

I have quit the app, logged out and logged back in, and restarted my computer, but it still doesn't seem to work.

Hi kamote0628,

The issue persists throughout every song its attempted on. It also remains even on other user accounts.

The issue popped up out of nowhere, with no system or third-party application updates, and no resets or computer shut-downs.

Are there any other solutions that don't require safe mode or reinstalling MacOS?
