Cloud Music Library makes my Apple Music crash immediately and I can no longer use Apple Music.

My Apple Music crashes every time I open it. I am running MacOS 14.2.1 (23C71) on a MacBook Pro. It started when I tried to update Cloud Music Library. I have all my CDs ripped to my Library and don't use Apple Music for any of my music, which is the way I want it. I have over 5,000 CDs ripped at lossless on a hard drive that I use Music to listen to, but I don't use Apple Music services at all. It suggested that I use the Cloud Library, and now it crashes every time, so basically I am now locked out of using my Library on my hard drive and cannot listen to any music. Any ideas as to what I should do?

MacBook Pro 13″, OS X 10.11

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 - I'm looking at you Apple!) 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.
