After upgrade to macOS 27, Music crashes on every quit

Since upgrade to macOS 27, Music crashes on every quit, without fail.

There are lots of other issues but, they might be related to the crashes.

Mac Studio, macOS 27.0

It is a good idea to isolate if this is the macOS 27 or your current user. ( I understand this started after updating)

you can create a new user and check how your apps are working.

you can consider repair disk and test the music app in your mac: How to repair a Mac storage device with Disk Utility - Apple Support

You can contact Apple Support for more options!

Thanks.

Yes, this started immediately after upgrading to macOS 27. Had no problem in macOS 26.

Just tried Music in another standard user account. No problems. Suggests the issue is my normal user account.

Perhaps my Library is the problem. In Library part of the Sidebar, I can only see "Songs". "Albums", "Artists" and "Recently Added" are not visible. Not surprised as I tried a number of Library functions in desperation – under "Settings" I turned on "Keep media files organised" and I moved the Library.

I'll try the suggested methods for cleaning the Library.
