Why is Siri unable to play music from my Apple Music library?

When I updated my iPhone to iOS 17.5, Siri will not play music from my library that is on my phone. Previously all I had to say was "Play playlist New Stuff" and Siri would start playing the first song in the play list. I do not have an apple music subscription and shouldn't need one for Siri to play the music in my library. Now when I ask Siri to play music it says "Looks like Apple Music can't play that." I had this problem a year or two ago after a previous update. The solution was to add "from my library" to the request. After a later update I did not need to append with "from my library." The Music setting does have an option to "Show Apple Music" but I have it turned off. I toggled it on and off and still have the same problem. Why is this happening again? I've googled around but none of the solutions have helped. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Made another call to Apple Tech Support (5/29/2024). Evidently, many have this issue. Because of all the calls Apple is aware of this. My guess is that there will be another software update to fix this Siri (music) issue.
