why is the music app crashing?

Trying to run the music app in Catalina, and it just crashes after running for a minute or two. It seems as if it might be related to airplay devices, as trying to play out an airplay device seems to make it crash easier.


Anyone experience something similar?


I did delete the prefs for the music app and that didn't help.


Ideas? Thank you.
