Music crashed when I was creating a playlist and now it crashes when I try to open it. It opens blank - no playlists - and then crashes. I have tried opening it in failsafe mode. I updated to Sonoma recently. I have a Macbook pro.
I’m dj:ing on Monday I would really need my playlists. Help!

Try holding down option when you launch Music, click the choose library option, and explicitly reselect the Music Library.musiclibrary file that you want it to open. You can also try holding both option+cmd at launch to open the app in its safe move which may sometimes help. If neither do can you restore the .musiclibrary from a backup? If all else fails create a new library and add your media.

Since you cannot reinstall Music independently the other option is to reinstall the operating system which should repair it.

Thank you, I’ve tried opening the app in safe mode but it crashes all the same… I can open and import playlists from itunes/music in my DJ-program Megaseg, thankfully. But I need the music app to work. I can’t reinstall it. So, what do I do?
Thank you so much for replying!
You're welcome. Did it work, or are you just hopeful?

I’ll wait until after the gig on Monday as the playlist I’ve prepared seems intact. Will reinstall Somoma on Tuesday.
👍
