Sync Cloud music library causes Music to crash repeatedly on Mac

I had purchased songs on iTunes Store quite some time back and used to enjoy listening to them on the Mac. I was not able to sight them on the iPhone. so I switched on sync cloud library on the music app. that is causing the Music app on the Mac to crash repeatedly.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.6

Continued issues syncing Apple Music on iPhone and iMac When trying to sync Apple Music on my iPhone and iMac, I always get duplicate playlists, and all the playlists end up with missing music that I have to re-download. I usually download music on to my iPhone, but sometimes I do use the iMac. I thought "syncing" meant actual syncing, i.e., updates on one device will show up on the other device. (Also, some of my music came from CD's, but are now showing up as dotted cloud symbols. How?) Tried several offered solutions, but none have worked. Help?

Albums bought from Bandcamp and added to Apple Music becoming unavailable - "This song is not synced across your devices" Heya all, I mostly used to buy my music from Bandcamp and add them manually to my phone via apple music without the subscription. Ever since I bought an AM sub, the only content ever being synced is what I download from AM rather than what's on my local MacBook filesystem. Each time I try to add/play my purchased albums, I'm told that I have to select "Sync Library" on both my devices, which I have (and also (de)selected) multiple times for good measure). I've confirmed 5 times that Sync Library is enabled on both devices but to no avail. Is there any way around this issue? Or am I only allowed to have AM downloads remain synced and playable?

This song is not synced across your devices I am an Artist so I constantly add new songs to my Apple Music Library, those can be; music created and exported from Logic Pro to Apple Music Librar , it can be download music from internet, etc.. Unfortunately there are many times that when I add a new song to my library, in my case I’m using my Mac to import a new music to my Apple Music library. For whatever reason there’s always a 50/50 chance that this music will not sync across my devices. There are times that I constantly have to delete the music and re-upload it so it can sync to all my devices. Basically the music will be playable on my Mac but I can’t play the same music on my phone or any other devices. Even tho I can see the same music on my phone but it won’t play (the cloud with exclamation point never goes away) and before someone recommends; checking the settings the ‘Sync Library’ is on. Sign out and sign back in to your account. Close and reopen the app, restart your Mac or any other device. Make sure you’re using the lasted updates in all your devices.. etc…. I basically have done it all lol!!! And the problem continues, I really would like to understand why this happens and hopefully get some help. I believe we all have had this problem before. here are some images for reference

Try turning off Sync Library, then turn off Genius. Close Music. Press and hold down option+cmd as you launch Music, then turn Sync Library back on.
