I did have errors and conflicts when updating everything except the Mac (can’t risk potential Sonoma bugs interfering with current projects).

Suddenly playlists would appear duplicated with a “1” at the end… i.e, if I had a playlist named “Jogging”, it would make a new extra one “Jogging1”. For all 50 or so playlists I had curated over the years.
Proceded to delete the “1” clones, no issues for a couple of days until I restarted the computer… reopening Apple Music met me with a completely empty barren playlist list, all of them gone, just folders (carried over from iTunes days) but without playlists either inside them.
The songs are still in the library in there, but all the organization gone…

But f-it, didn’t sulk on it long and ripped that bandaid quick… started from scratch with the 5 or so named playlists that I was using 98% of the time.

However, it’s enraging that they aren’t testing their own dog food, I must be quite the average typical Apple ecosystem user, all iCloud’ed, all default settings for the most part and still get bitten like so.
 
I noticed the exact same problem only on my two distinct laptops running Windows 11 but not on any of my other Macs nor iOS devices. But today this problem seems to be fixed since my music library got fully loaded in Apple Music (Preview) App on Windows. I have not tried out iTunes for Windows, yet, but will likely don't do that to avoid any further unexpected complications.
 
And then there's Keychain randomly deciding, "Hey, remember that password you asked me to remember for you? Funny thing, I decided you no longer need me to remember it!"

Hey all

I had this with my new Mac a couple of months ago. Was so annoying.

Logged out of my account on Apple Music on the Mac. Deleted the 'Music Library.musiclibrary' in the Music folder and also anything that was in the 'Previous Libraries' folder, so basically anything in the Music folder, delete. Restarted and then logged back into my account on Apple Music then finally it started working again.

Not acceptable nor cool, but I hope this helps someone fix the issue. :)

Thanks
 
This is all fixed for me now. I needed to authorise my computer and go to File > Library > Update Cloud Library. It took two days to update, but all fine now.
