Apple Music crashing after iMac Sequoia OS 15 update

Hi All,

I installed the Sequoia OS 15 update on my M3 iMac, and now Apple Music crashes after about 15 minutes of use, when I try to drag a song into another playlist. Is this a known bug, and if so, when is the new update coming out to fix it?

Thanks,

Steven

iMac 24″, macOS 15.0

Music crashes when I try to drag particular, but not all, songs into another playlist since the Sequoia update.

Sorry you are having issues as well. I am not sure if I posted on here, but a month ago I spent 3 hours with a senior advisor running tests and doing video recordings to catch the crashes. He said to be patient, when when there was an OS update he would let me know and "hopefully" it would fix it. There hasn't been an update, and I still have all the same problems. Can't even change the names of my playlists. The name changes in the playlist window, but not on the left playlist list, and then a few seconds later, they both revert to the old name. Still crashing when dragging songs in the playlist. I made one playlist, then it just went away. It's funny, I saw the new M4 Laptops have come out, with a hefty $3200 price tag for the top of the line unit. Why would I pay that high price if I know one of my most used programs won't work?

I updated to 15.1.1 and it appears that my Apple Music problems on my iMac are gone. Yay! Unfortunately, I keep getting the error that I have too many programs open, and I must close things down. I told the Apple Senior Advisor, when he replaced my lemon iMac 2020 after three years with this computer, that 8 Gb of ram wasn't going to do it with me being and Adobe AI and Photoshop user, but he said it would be fine. If I could upgrade the memory, it would, but I'm stuck. Also, after every time I am forced to restart, my finder window previews settings default back to the icons. As long as I am belly aching, I hate the apple Magic Keyboard. I replaced it with a $20 gaming keyboard with large keys, and it works much better with my art programs. Also the Magic Mouse jumps all over the screen sometimes when I accidentally move my finger a millimeter sideways. I have a wired staples mouse to fix that problem. Now I can get some work done! And finally do my Christmas playlists in Apple Music.

I use Affinity Photo, Design and Publisher, but these programs are not running at the time I attempt to use the Music app and I also have 64GB of Ram. Upgrading to 15.1.1 has not fixed my issue with my Music app. Hopefully, Apple will come up with a fix for me before Christmas or I'll have to use alternative methods to play my Christmas playlists. : (
