Music: Updating album/artist/album artist not working like before

Something weird's happening with Music since updating to Sonoma.


When trying to sort or organize my songs library, I will select/highlight multiple songs I want to group together by going into "Get Info," then make changes to the album, artist and album artist so everything's sorted accordingly. I'll even update the album artwork myself by going into the Artwork tab.


But whenever I make my changes and then press OK, nothing happens. None of my changes are made; it's as if Music captured none of my edits, and the songs I selected are still spread out individually.


Below is an example of what it looks like even after I've made those changes in Get Info.


Mac mini, macOS 13.2

This is yet another glitch in the latest upgrade. Select the songs (or albums) as usual (as you show above) and instead of right-clicking to "Get Info," go to "Song" at the top of your screen in the horizontal list of "Music" options (Music, File, Edit, etc.) Click Song, click "Info" underneath it and you'll get the same screen as if you right-clicked the highlighted selections. Make your changes and click OK. It's an annoying workaround but it works for me. Try it.
