Nevermind. It seems the bug was wider then I initially thought, namely somehow my files got added to the library, yet the library file itself (Music Library.musiclibrary) was not backed up by Time Machine after it got corrupted. So my Time Machine backups were all from the day the library got corrupted.
How on Earth it was able to hold almost 2 years of additions is beyond me.
Resolved by manually moving files with "modified date" later than the cutoff date from music storage folder and re-adding them to Music.app
I have this exact same problem and workaround!! If I stream to my streamer alone (a Cambridge Audio 851N) I run into problems, such as Music losing focus on which track is playing with the time slider freezing. If I connect to a second Airplay receiver (in my case a Raspberry Pi) then it works as normal! I'll submit a bug report to Apple.
macOS 12.2 comes with Music 1.2.2.23.
I have noticed some new animations (for example, when opening a playlist from the search results, the view slides from the side).
There are also some new bugs.

Looks like because Apple is potentially rebuilding the Music app per 9-to-5 Mac. At least for some components.
Why did the new update automatically turn on “sound check” in the music program?
Also does that only effect songs in music app and not the sound if transfer them to my iPhone.

Seems to be that the update automatically Checks off “sound check” uncheck it snd then quit the music app and reopen. It should stop.
My question is. Does unchecking it undue anything that was done on the tracks? Don’t want volume of my tracks effected
Cautiously excited they are giving the Music app some much needed love. Will go through the wiki and see if anything we actually care about has changed.
Wiki now updated for 12.2.2.23. Whilst there have been much improved responsiveness in Apple Music with the native views, the rest is much unchanged. Have cleaned up some bugs/issues however.
How do you have Recently Added in list format rather than the grid of "This Month", "Last Three Months" etc?
What about when clicking on the Informational 'i' Icon in the bottom left (it'd be at the bottom of your left list) when Genius Results or iCloud Music Library are updating? Does that still open to the Desktop if the Music App is in Full Screen? Or does that now properly open within the App's Full Screen window?
It seems to be a bug - probably when searching it hasn't unselected the "Recently Added" tab on the left which was what has been selected prior to searching for the playlist. I can't reproduce it now.
I have the following problem with the Music.app in macOS 12.1.
When I rename a track in my library in Music.app, it doesn't sync via the cloud, neither on the iPhone nor on the second Mac with Big Sur are the changes visible.
The other way around works fine and the changes I made on the second Mac are visible on the iPhone and on the first Mac running macOS 12.1.
Is the problem known?

I think it is because Dolby Atmos masters are quieter than the stereo ones, so there is a big discrepancy. It is a frequently asked question on the Apple's spacial audio support website, so I assume they have turned it on by default to mitigate this effect and lower the burden on the customer support.
How does the Sound Check feature work on the Music app? I swear it used to work over Airplay years ago, but that was broken (or I imagined it). Does it work for music playback over Airplay?I’m about to upgrade and want to know what’s ahead.
Ah for Apple Music streaming.
Do you know if I turn off sound check does it change files or sound check in general doesn’t change anything with my actual files
Sound Check does not alter the files, only placing a tag in the file for the volume, used only if Sound Check is turned on.
Hello,
Same problem here. Album / Track renaming through Music App is not synchronized in iCloud Music Library and it always reverts back to the original value. It also seems that adding an album / track to playlist is also not taken into account.
Any other people with the same problem ? Thank you
macOS Monterey 12.1
Music App 1.2.1.40
I just updated the Album Artist name of an album and it synced across to my iPad & iPhone within maybe 8-10 seconds. Just a few days ago I noticed that those changes weren't syncing unless I went to and chose the option manually to update iCloud Library, so for whatever reason for me, things are a little better.
I'm still on macOS 12.1, but I'm curious how the Native Music app's been working for folks on macOS 12.2 b1
IT'S HAPPENING....??
Apple rebuilding Apple Music as a native app with macOS 12.2 - 9to5Mac
has anyone tried the new version? worth updating to beta for? did they do something horrible yet?

Interesting - so I'm not the only one noticing some sync issues following the latest stable release. Changes I make on my iPhone (e.g. starring, adding to playlist, etc.) sync to the Mac almost immediately, but changes I make on the Mac don't go anywhere.
Oddly, if I move an entire playlist to a folder or create a new one, that syncs. But any manipulation I do to actual tracks isn't.

If my Mac is set up to play through a pair of HomePod speakers, when I play the first song of an album in my local library using the Music app, it first plays for a couple seconds through the internal speakers before switching to the HomePods. This is new in 12.x. I am running 12.1 (first version I've run).
