HELP! Smart playlist based on star rating, not working in Tahoe.

I know Apple isn't crazy about using star ratings in (iTunes) Music. Since updating to Tahoe, my smart playlist based on ratings isn't working.


When I download music, I dump it into a smart playlist called Unrated. In the past, as I'd listen to a song I could go to the dropdown menu and choose the Ratings header and I could choose a rating, then the song would quit playing and disappear from the Smart Playlist. Now Ratings is missing from the dropdown menu (yes I have Star Ratings checked in the settings.)


If I choose Go To Current song and give it a star rating, it doesn't disappear from the Unrated playlist.


I even tried to build a new smart playlist based on nothing but the star rating. It's still not working.


I long for the days when I could tell Siri to rate a song, now she replies, "I don't understand."


Any suggestions?

MacBook Air (M1, 2020)
