If you are using Music with bought local files do not update to Sonoma 14.3

After updating MacOS Sonoma to version 14.3 the Music app does not play any local m4a files which have been bought from the iTunes store. My whole library became useless and it is so annoying after the 14.2 update syncing issue (basically you had to open Activity Monitor and force quit crash debugger for music, or something similar).

I hope there will be a new update tor resolve this annoying issue quickly.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.14

Hello Tim, thank you very much for your time and attention on the matter, I resolved the issue by simply dragging and dropping my music folder onto the app, I reckon it's the same thing with a different approach, somehow it seems to be a file location issue, however there weren't any error messages. I hope nothing else is bugged... :)
