Apple Music crashing after macOS Sequoia 15.2 update

Also experiencing this since I updated to Sequoia 15.2, and finally identified the conditions under which this happens, as well as a workaround:

If you drag and drop a song in a playlist, and that playlist is set to view "as Playlist" in the "View" settings, and the song you try to drag does not have an album title, then Apple Music main thread crashes with a swift::swift_dynamicCastFailure.

If you try to drag the same song with the "View" set to "as Songs", or any other view besides "as Playlist", then there is no crash.

If you edit the metadata of the song to have an album title, and then allow the playlist UI to refresh by clicking on the playlist in the sidebar again, and then attempt to drag the song, then the app will not crash.

In contrast, if you edit a song without an album title to have an album title, save, but do not allow the playlist UI to refresh (so that the UI is still not showing an album title), and then try drag the song, the app will crash.

This is reproducible every time.

This is a SwiftUI bug and has nothing to do with the specific of the song, or even the underlying metadata. The temporary workaround is to view your playlists "as Songs".

OS: macOS 15.2 (24C101)

Apple Music: 1.5.2

It's a known fault which they hope to fix in the next incremental update

I completely agree with you. I’m over Apple and it feels like it’s just going downhill. Apple Music/iTunes was amazing and I don’t get why they changed it but I’m guessing it’s because of the need to make more money… Greed. Apple used to live up to its name and not so much anymore.

I just did the latest update and still crashing.

Thank you, zalzebug! The workaround you identified works perfectly.

What a strange bug!

This is a pain in the .... I need to rearrange my song list to teach dance classes and cannot do so!

I still encounter the problem in macOS 15.3.

The same problem here!

If you organised your file in iTunes , go to the file you organised and collect all by pressing Command A, create folder somewhere in your Mac , open the folder and paste the files by pressing command V.

worked for me!

good luck

I can't stream songs but if I download them, then I can play them. Apple's software seems to fall apart with each year. I never had this many issues when I had iTunes Match. This is unusable. Thinking of getting off this train entirely.

Music application crash when try to move song I make this settings now is working

Hey, could you provide an update, please? Having the same problem.
