Apple Music won't play

[CyberGene]

Not sure if it is for this sub-forum or for the Apple Music but this problem happens only on my Mac.

This first happened recently (after the latest macOS update, I believe the one with new Apple Music features such as lossless). The Apple Music app would just stop playing music at all. I try playing tracks but they don't start, there's no progress bar in the upper part, only some flowing animation left/right in that bar as though the piece is being loaded but it isn't. Also there is something like a graphic EQ next to the track name with jumping bars. Nothing helps once that happens. Even restarting the Mac doesn't help and I have to uncheck the "sync library" in the options which basically disables the Apple Music account and then reenable it and wait for 10 minutes until all my music appears.

Has anyone else had that issue? Is there a way to reset Apple Music app on the Mac? By deleting a file(s) or something?

BTW, I'm more and more disappointed in Apple quality recently and I've been an Apple fanboy for years...

Apple Music is completely hosed for me as of this morning. All songs and playlists show up, but when I click a song, some other random song will play or it will play the Radio instead. Have signed in and out, rebooted, unchecked sync library and unchecked lossless. Nothing helps. Happening on MBA M1 and iMac M1. And to make matters a bit more weird, it's working fine on my iOS devices. Just a Mac issue. Any ideas?

Got it working again by doing the following: 1) signed out of Music; 2) deleted Music folder; 3) closed/re-opened Music; 4) signed in; 5) let songs and playlists repopulate; 6) downloaded all songs (I like to keep them downloaded locally). I have no clue whether this is a real "fix" or just temporary. It's possible something might have gotten messed up when I converted my library over to lossless a few days ago. But, Music worked fine after that until this morning.
