Apple Music on Windows 11 Not Allowing Music to be Played

I signed into Apple Music on my Windows 11 PC with my Apple ID that owns the Music on my playlists. I tried to play some music and it said that I must be signed into Apple Music in order to play my music. I also made sure that my computer is authorized to my Apple ID. So basically I can't play music on Apple Music for Windows 11 because it says I need to sign in but I am already signed in. I just installed it a few days ago so I am on the latest version of Apple Music and Windows 11 (both I installed a few days ago).

Windows, Windows 10

My problem is that music won’t play at all before even a second of the song can play, it pauses itself and won’t unpause no matter what I do ,does anyone have a fix for that a few weeks ago it was working fine but since I got back it hasn’t been working I’m using Apple Music preview btw.

I discovered why I couldn't play. Thank you Apple for not being completely clear about what is wrong. It had authorized 5 devices to play music already and wanted to add a 6th device although I had no clue about the fact that I had already added 5. No warning no user friendly error message telling me that I had reached the maximum just a message saying: "Your device is not authorized". De-authorizing all devices I had added over many years solved the problem. Why is there a limit? No clue.
