Whenever I open Music it AMPLibraryAgent and APMArtworkAgent just immediately hog ALL CPU.

I have a large library - about 500GB - so I let it run for days to see if just needed to finish - nothing.

I have reset the PRAM. I have turned OFF 'keep artwork update' in Music.

The only workaround I have found is to manually kill the process in Activity Monitor - MULTIPLE TIMES. Usually about three times will kill it for the day - until I close music and open it again.

I have had this issue since updating to Catalina - with each update I think they might have dealt with this, but to no avail. Does anyone know anything I can do to fix this. The fans buzzing ALL DAY at full blast is obviously not ideal for a $4000 laptop.
