Apple Music doesn't work after Sonoma 14.3 update

I have Apple Music streaming broken from 14.2 update. If I try to play anything, app freezes, and only Force quit possible.

No solution still.

Thanks for that. Unfortunatley I don't have a Music option in Files & Folders.

Thank you very much, worked for me too. Problem is fixed.

I can't load the apple music app because my company has my computer locked down so I can't login to apple.

However, I've been using music.apple.com in my browser to get around it without any issues, but with the Sonoma upgrade, I can no longer even sign in to music.apple.com. I've tried both with password and passkey on both Chrome & Edge.

It doesn't give me any errors, I just remain signed out of apple music. There's a red bar across the bottom of the page encouraging me to "Try it now," but when I click the button, it says I'm already a subscriber.

Any recommendations for browser-based playback?

This worked for me and also fixed my CD Import issue. Thank you.

Thank you for this! I Tried so many things -- this worked👍

My thanks too to FatCol! His method appears to have resolved my issue of songs not playing. Much appreciated!

I tried Tim Barron's solution and it worked as well for me. It is still not 100% clear to me what Music did to my library. My library is backed-up on OneDrive, and according to the log the music files were reshuffled. I feel like the changes from the Sonoma 14.3 update broke the library, and re-importing it "relinked" the files...

Anyway, that was a very good catch, thanks!

I also went to Music>>Settings>>Files, and saw the location in the window. Then I, possibly stupidly, hit "reset". Music app still didn't work. I again went to Music>>Settings>>Files , dropped down to my music media folder, created a new untitled folder, dragged the media folder there, and then back to its original location. Music app is still not responding, playing one song only. I'm unable to select any other songs. I have mostly my own recordings, the only purchase was a U2 album.

It either gets stuck on a U2 song or a single song that I recorded.

I have no idea what to do. I do have AppleCare, and I'll probably have to call them, but I would prefer to fix it myself as a learning experience.

Any help would be appreciated.

Same issue here. EASY FIX: some tracks were playing because they were on the itunes file on my mac even if the music media location was saved as on an external hard disk. I reset it to the mac and then put it back to the hard disk. Problem solved.

I'm going to answer my own post. It turned out I did something incredibly stupid. I unintentionally dragged all my Music into documents (don't ask me how). I ended up calling Applecare, and was eventually connected to a senior tech who logged onto my screen told me what to do. It took about 20 minutes to undo my screwup.

It turns out I had a similar issue. My music library is stored in iCloud which lives in the folder Macintosh HD/Users/rene/Library/Mobile Documents/iCloud Drive/. Once I gave the Music App full disc access, I was able to play my music again. Apple could have saved me hours by just giving me a proper error message why the music is not playing :/

Unfortunately this didn't work for me. The only thing that has worked for me is to "Right-click on the track you want to play, select Display in Finder. When the track is displayed in Finder, double-click it".

This makes the file play presumably by reinforcing the link but it will need to be done for every music file and there are thousands. Anyone know how to do this in bulk?
