Apple Music doesn't work after Sonoma 14.3 update

Sadly this didn't work for me. I completed the two steps but the Apple Music icon still "bounces" once and never opens when clicked. Attempting to open the application from within Finder also results in the same outcome. Sonoma 14.3 broke Apple Music on my Mac Studio and 14.4 and 14.5 haven't provided a fix. Apple Music won't open anymore.

When using Apple Music on my iMac playing songs in the cloud (iTunes Match) stop after 14 seconds. I have signed out, and signed in. Changed playback settings. Nothing fixes the problem. You can see from image it loads the first 14 seconds and then nothing.

I dont see option for Display in the Finder. My music is in the cloud using iTunes match,

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.

My problem is that I can't even get my Apple Music app to stay open long enough to use. It opens with a blank main screen then closes with the long text of what's wrong.

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?

That won't work for me because I can't get Apple Music to stay open long enough to do what you propose.

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.
