Apple Music Stops Playing After Favoriting Song

This just started happening... whenever I am playing a song in Apple Music on Mac OSX (everything is the latest version) and click the star in the play bar to "favorite" the song--it will stop playing a few seconds later.

It doesn't just "pause" it completely stops and disappears from the play bar as if it were never playing. Incredibly frustrating.

This was an error I remember from YEARS ago too (a completely different device, different OS, etc) and now it suddenly started happening again. PLEASE help.

iMac 27″, macOS 14.3

Same issue here, also notice it then appears twice in favourites. Removing one of the duplicate entries then removes both and again stops/clears the now playing tune. Basically looks like the API interaction for favourites causes a minor crash in the app. Surprised this is something reported over a month and not addressed?

I'm getting the playback stoppage but not the duplication. Also happens only on my Mac. It doesn't crash if I'm using my Mac to control my HomePod mini and favorite a song playing on that.

I have been having this issue for a while now. Big let down for how much I pay to have Apple Music as well as a MacBook Pro M2 Max.

BTW, there is no issue on the iPhone version of Apple Music.
