"Last Played" and "Plays" not updating for radio streams in Apple Music with Tahoe 6.2

I recently updated to Tahoe 26.2 and just discovered another issue with the new Apple Music: "Last Played" and "Plays" (number of plays) don't update for radio streams, whether in a playlist or when I'm looking at my entire library in Songs. Both update just fine for regular music, streaming as well as music I own on my HD. I've done basic troubleshooting like deleting cache files. Anyone else seen this and have any suggestions?

(Metadata like song titles also isn't working in Tahoe, but the "Last Played" issue annoys me more.)

I have never seen when the Last Played Date and Count updated when playing from a Station. I assume that is what you mean by a Radio Stream. I just confirmed on a Mac with Sequoia and neither updated when the song played from my Station. Not sure if that is what you are referring to, but if it is there has been no change in Tahoe.

No, that's not what I mean (I never play from Stations). I'm referring to direct stream URLs in my Songs library. Their Last Played dates have always updated just like regular songs.
