Adding a Track to Library in Mac Music App Stops Music and exits Playlist

Hello,


I have had this issue with iTunes in High Sierra as well hoping to get some help now that the issue persists on Catalina and the new MacOS Music App.


If I hear a song I like in a playlist I use the "..." select add to library, it adds the song but then stops playback of the song and exits the playlist. I have Apple Music, Running Latest MacOS (10.15) and Latest Music App (Version 1.0.0.426)

To Reproduce:

  • Open Apple Music playlist
  • Use ... to add song to library
  • Song will stop and playlist will exit

Hi Alex,


I have tried all the troubleshooting listed in the link to no success.


I have 2 MacOS Systems on 2 different networks: a MacBook Pro (Running Catalina and Music App) and a Mac Pro (Running High Sierra and iTunes) the sequence of actions mentioned above produce the bugged result on both machines so based on that I concluded the issue is most likely on a higher level and independent from operating system, physical machine, or network.


Thanks for the reply,


Nic

Nfoxx003,


I think you are right. This has to be an issue with the software that a MacOS erase and reinstall won't even resolve. I have both a 27" iMac and 2019 13" MBP and have the issue. I have noticed the issue since High Sierra, but it may have been before that. The issue is still happening on Catalina. If recent MacOS software releases are as bad as iOS 13, we might be SOL for a while.
