When you have iCloud Music Library with iTunes, Genius is not actually an option to turn on or off. It is embedded in it and so is always on. To fix this issue I would have to sign out and turn off iCloud Music Library. After signing in again I am worried that it will want to go through my whole 60k library again and everything that was matched before will then go in limbo. Hence I think I am forced to wait until this matching problem is fixed. I've had iCloud Music library for >10y and there have been hiccups but this is the worst.
Got a tip for us?

How's everyone doing? People over on the front page thread are reporting that it's finally working again! This is what I posted:
It started working yesterday for me again. It did this a week or so though so hopefully it’ll stick this time 🤞🏼
What worked for me last week was to quit the Music app when it would stall at the last step, relaunch, then start the process again. That would get 2–3 songs in at a time. Not ideal, but it was the only workaround that did it for me.
I can confirm that it is fully working on my end. Just matched 30 songs in record time.
Great news! I'm out of town, but I had my wife open my laptop and open the Music app. I checked about 15 minutes later, and to my delight on my iPhone all of the previously grayed-out songs are now active. It looks like my 2000+ songs I recently added all made their way into my iCloud Music Library. Much thanks to everyone who contacted Apple Customer Service about this issue. I hope iTunes Match stays fix and Apple it keeps it. The iCloud Music Library is incredibly useful (when it works).
