How do I fix Apple Music search error on Mac?

I paid for a subscription to Apple Music. It works fine on my phone. On my MacBook, I can listen to my music in the playlist without any issues, but when I try to search for something and add it, I get an error.

"Something went wrong" error when I search for music on Apple Music When I go to Browse and then Search in the Apple Music Store, I get a window saying "Something went wrong" and I cannot search for an artist or new music. This only happens on my laptop, not on my other devices. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Error 9039 on Apple Music macOS Sonoma 14.1.2 For the past 2 weeks, my Apple Music cloud library won't turn on or update. The music library on my iPhone 15 Pro is completely fine, same with my Apple TV 4K (1st Gen). I've tried removing songs from my phone to fix it and sometimes on my laptop and every time I turn it on, All the songs I have downloaded offline randomly duplicate (but not the ones I've saved on Apple Music for online) and say that my library is too full. I tried deauthorizing and reauthorizing my MacBook Pro, signing in and out, restarting my laptop, and I'm all out of solutions. Could someone please help me fix this? I don't want all of my music to be lost.

Apple Music: "Something went wrong. Please try again later". Often when I search for music (song titles, etc) on Apple Music, I get the following message: "Something went wrong. Please try again later". It happens maybe 75% of the time now. Only on my Mac: Apple Music on my iPhone does not have trouble finding stuff. Any idea what's going on? I have a feeling this coincides with my downloading SoundTap, which I am trying to use for educations purposes (I'm a teacher).

Have you tried relaunching the app by quitting then opening again?

I usually have this issue as well and relaunching the Music app always fixes the problem for me.

I’ve tried restarting both the app and the Mac — nothing helps. I also tried signing out and back into my account, but that didn’t work either.
