Can’t sign in to Music and TV app on Catalina 10.15.1

This year’s bugs are just too many, someone should do something at Apple to put things back on track. Sorry for the rant...

Thanks. I’ll try it. If you don’t mind me asking, how did you get to those Terminal commands? It won’t affect anything else on the Mac?

combination of posts on here and on the apple support forums. It had no impact on my Mac but fixed the authentication issues with music,tv and podcast apps. But if you’re worried clone your drive as a back up first
