Tahoe 26.0 Music crashes on Quit. Create Station not working as previously

If anyone is having the same problem this worked for me.


Following the upgrade to OS Tahoe on iMac M4, the Music app demonstrated strange behaviour. When using the Search artist, Create Station feature the playlist would only plays songs from the selected artist albeit random. Previous behaviour was to play a selection of the selected artist AND other related artists. 


When Quitting the Music app the app would crash and dump the logs.


On a MacBook Pro with new upgrade to Tahoe 26.0, everything worked as expected.


Tried numerous options:

  • Sign Out of account.
  • Restart.
  • Shut Down/Restart
  • Sign into different account
  • Re-install Tahoe


Nothing worked.


Finally Deleted the com.apple.Music.plist file.

Restarted

Apple Account was correctly identified

Create Station works as before, Quit works correctly

iMac 24″, macOS 26.0
