Play/Pause toggle on tracks in Apple Music not working

When I click a track in the list it begins playing with no problem. Hovering over the album art will display a pause button, but clicking on that does nothing. I tested this with a Mac on an older version of MacOS and it works just fine so maybe it's an issue introduced with the MacOS Sequoia 15.5 (24F74)?

Curious if anyone else has this issue

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 15.5

Apple Music "Next Track" button not working in macOS When you're in the Info view in the Music app on Mac, clicking the "Next" button used to take you to the next track for the album that you're currently viewing. For example, if you were viewing any given album, it would cycle through all the tracks in the album. That appears to be broken in MacOS 15 Sequoia. It now cycles to some other seemingly random track so rather than seeing the next song in the album you've got selected, it moves randomly through a bunch of unrelated tracks. Does anyone know of a workaround to that? [Re-Titled By Moderator]

NO "PREVIOUS TRACK" BUTTON ON APPLE MUSIC ON MAC Why is the "button" to go back to PREVIOUS TRACK greyed out on Apple Music for Mac? The option is also greyed out in the CONTROLS drop-down menu.

Cannot select and play music on Sonoma 14.3 I recently upgraded to MacOS 14.3. When I launch Apple Music and select a song -- from either the songs view or a playlist -- and then press the Play button, it does not play the selected song. It either plays a different song or gives me a dialog asking me if I want to clear the song list. Seems like a bug to me but I wanted to know if there is a setting that I might have overlooked. Please advise.

Works fine for me on three Macs running Sequoia 15.5.
