Troubleshooting Permissions:

Seems Permissions settings might be getting in the way here. Try the following...

• Allow Accessibility Apps to Access your Mac - Apple Support

• If you Need Permission to Open an Item on Mac - Apple Support

• Change Permissions for Files, Folders, or Disks on Mac - Apple Support

"just started and no it is my machine, i have multiple macs in use at present, only one doing it"

Granting Permission:

1. Go to: Settings
2. Select: Privacy & Security
3. Scroll: to Allow applications downloaded from

Any success?

About this Error:

Has this always been the case? Or is it a new issue that is occurring? If this is a business-owned device, then you may not have the avidity to access this info.

First try option-starting Music in case the issue is cause by a broken preference and you are able to choose you library on start up. Normally it would be ~/Music/Music/Music Library.musiclibrary.

If that hasn't helped then it is worth nothing that Music is part of macOS from version 10.15 Catalina onwards. It cannot be separately reinstalled to resolve issues. I would suggest you backup your data and then reinstall the operating system to repair files/permissions that are currently preventing Music from opening.
