MacOS 26 Music only plays the first album song when selecting any other track

when I open an album and click a track to play (example: track 12) the program only plays the first track. It’s annoying if I have a large album. With MacOS 26 I now have to rapidly click FF through every track to get to the one I want to hear. Didn’t happen with Sequoia. What’s the deal? Am I not seeing a new button? Is it a setting configuration?

It's a known bug in MacOS 26 Music. One among many. My workaround is to drag the tracks I want to hear (e.g. track 12, etc.) from the album to the Queue section on the right and then double click on the first track. It plays that track instead of the first track of the album. Awkward but better, imo, than hitting fast forward 12 times.
