Music crashes on Macbook Pro when trying to drag a song

I recently updated to Sequoia 15.2 and now my Music app keeps crashing. I can't drag any of my songs within the playlist or to my desktop. I'm a music teacher and use this daily - I need a fix urgently.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 15.2

Apple Music App crashing when clicking and dragging songs in a specific playlist I have been using iTunes (and now Apple Music) to compile music I've downloaded and imported to the app from all corners of the internet before modifying their album covers and information like titles to use in homebrew D&D campaigns for years now and have had no problems with it until I upgraded to MacOS Sequoia very recently. Ever since then, I began noticing something when I added new music to and began trying to edit a playlist of music I garnered over the years. When I clicked and dragged any song from that playlist that I downloaded and added before the update - it would cause the entire app to crash. Yet it would still allow me to freely click and drag any new song I add to the playlist without a hitch. I tried opening the Apple Music app in safe mode, opening a new library by opening the app while holding the Option key, making duplicates of the entire playlist in both the old and new library - and still the same result every time. I click and drag one of the songs I already put it in and the app just crashes every time. This is apparently only an issue with one specific playlist rather than others I have saved on my Apple Music library. Here is the log it gives me in a pop-up window after it crashes: I would honestly prefer to avoid deleting the entire playlist and making it again since it took years to compile all the music together. If you guys have any suggestions on how to fix this without deleting any of the modifications I made to the songs I imported including the playlist order, I'm open to trying it. I'm really at the end of my rope here and don't know what else to do. Thank you so much in advance! [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Crashes in Music App on MacOS Greets: I am having issues with the Music app on MacOS crashing. I have a playlist folder with three nested playlist folders, and each of them with playlists. I am on another unrelated playlist outside of the folders with tracks that I'd like to drag from its list into one of the playlists inside the nested folders. I am able to drag a song, maybe two. But then when I attempt to select or drag a song to the nested playlist, the Music app crashes. This has hapened several more times. This is unusual and a bit frustrating. I am not sure how to deal with it, but would love to get some assistance on sorting that out. I'm on MacOS 15.2. I have a pretty spec out M1 Max MacBook Pro. I did attempt to restart and try again, but same issue has happened. Thanks,

Apple Music on Macos not saving music in playlists after editing I have been experiencing an issue with Apple Music on MacOs whereby adding tracks to a playlist does not appear to save after the application is closed down. When the Music app is reopened the music tracks do not appear in any of the playlists I have just added them in. I have trawled Google for answers and there does not seem to be an immediate fix, in spite of the fact that other Mac users are experiencing the exact same issue. I am running MacOs Ventura on a 2021 14" M1 MacBook Pro with all the latest updates. For comparison, I have a 2012 iMac running MacOs Catalina that has zero problems saving tracks to playlists in the Music app. Any assistance on this would be greatly appreciated.
