Your library cannot be read because it was created with a newer version of Music

I recently had to reinstall Monterey on my iMac. I was able restore files from my Time Machine back up. I opened the Music app, and got this error message: Your library cannot be read because it was created with a newer version of Music. I cannot choose my entire library; it only lets me choose one artist folder at a time. Help!

After restoring a Music Library.musiclibrary database from Time Machine hold down alt/option as you launch Music, click Choose Library..., then select the restored database. See also Empty/corrupt iTunes/Music library after upgrade/crash - Apple Community.
