ClearTrackAutoRating Script error and music loss

TT2, this has been SO helpful cleaning up rating in my library. Thank you so much for ALL you do in support of ipods and iTunes! Occasionally I get this error and am wondering what is causing it and whether tracks are really getting deleted.

Genius results can’t be updated right now. An unknown error occurred (18004). for the past 2-3 months my Apple Music has stopped working completely and I have lost my entire Apple Music library as its stopped synching. When I tried to re synch that's when I lost my library and keep getting the same error message "Genius results can’t be updated right now. An unknown error occurred (18004)" This has also happened on Apple Music on my iPhone as well as this has stopped synching now too and when I tried to reset it I lost my entire library on there too. Any tips or ideas to fix this? Would be greatly appreciated.

Delete from Library - An unknown error has occurred Using Apple Music for Windows. When selecting a song in a playlist and pressing delete I'm getting an error pop up at the bottom of the screen: "Delete from Library - An unknown error has occurred." They stack if I try again. There doesn't seem to be a remove from playlist in the right-click context menu (unlike on the iPhone Music app) so the delete key is the only way I can think of to try and remove them. When I use the 'Remove from playlist' option via iPhone Music app it successfully removes the song so I can only assume this is a bug in the Windows Apple Music app. Any advice on how I can actually remove something from my playlist via the Windows app?

Are you running the script on a smart playlist, where the tracks might be removed from the list once their rating has been changed? It might be that I need to revisit the script to remove this potential error if playlist membership is recalculated.

Yes, Indeed! That is what is happening. Smart playlists.
