Apple Music AM downloads don't play after relog

[vault]

A few days ago I had to relog to iCloud on my iPhone.
I signed out and in again. It also logged me out of Apple Music on my Windows desktop (why? I don't know).

I logged back in and now my downloaded songs don't play, they just skip to the next song. If I delete the download, the song streams fine, but if I download it again it skips.

I tried logging out and in again several times, I tried authorise/deauthorise option, it didn't work.

I reinstalled AM, deleted \ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes as someone on the web suggested, it didn't help.

How do I make my downloads work again? I assume some DRM key somewhere has not updated, but do I really need to be a computer scientist to make Apple Music work?

How do I make my downloads work again?

I expect you'll have to delete & re-download them.

And then in the future, avoid signing out.

But they don't play even after I delete and download them again (streaming works fine).

Also, I had to sign out on my iPhone because of another bug. If you're interested,

I have used custom SMTP server with iCloud email for years, but Apple removed that option in recent iOS. And they removed it in a way that left me unable to send email at all. The option was just gone with no way to change it back to default.

As for Apple Music, I have to download the tracks that I want to have in lossless quality because of yet another bug, this one.

What a minefield this software is nowadays.
