Music Playlist is blank

Songs are not shown - screen is blank - if I view the playlist as "View as Songs"

I have an I Mac bought new a year ago.

I switched and downloaded from OS Catalina to OS Big Sur today.

I have Music version 1.1.2.28.

I can't remember which Music version I had yesterday.

Now songs no longer show on my playlists, if I click on View as Songs.

Songs do show if I click on View As Playlist.

However, I prefer it on View as Songs, I like the layout better than on View as Playlist.

Why is it blank if I click on View as Songs? It shows no songs, but does play them.

So the songs are there - just not shown. Same problem on all Music playlists now.

How can I make the songs visible with "View as songs"?

Note - there is a scroll bar on the right with View as Playlist,

but there is not a scroll bar on the right with View as Songs.

I suspect this has something to do with it.

I did not have this problem with OS Catalina.

Try holding down Option+Cmd as you launch Music to open it in safe mode to see if the behaviour is any better.

You may need to reinstall Big Sur as you cannot reinstall Music as a standalone item.
