Music app crashing at launch

There's not much else to describe; Double-click on app icon, Music starts launching showing the main screen not populated with any data. Then the beach ball starts turning and the app aborts.

My APPLE Music stopped all of a sudden last week. I would click the Music App and it wouldn't not even open. I found out the following. The music library on my external HD became unlinked AND Music crashed instead of opening with the wrong (or missing) library so I had no clue (or more precisely, warning) that that was the issue until I just guessed at trying to open Music while holding the option key Choose Library. YEAH! My Apple Music on Mac works once again. I hope this fixes the issue for some of you.
