MacBook Pro plays only one song from music library

I have a MacBook Pro, Tahoe 26 OS. Currently when I attempt to play music from my own library, the music will play but only for one song. There is a previous post regarding this issue but that solution (verifying that the boxes are checked) didn't solve the problem. I use AirPlay but it also affects music that I try to hear only from my MacBook. My speakers are all Sonos. Any suggestions?

Hi there


Please try this


Use the Queue Workaround: Drag the tracks you want to hear from your album or library directly into the Playing Next sidebar/section on the right, then double-click the first track.

Toggle Shuffle Mode: Start playback using the Shuffle button instead of clicking a specific track. Once the music begins and populates the queue, you can turn off shuffle and switch back to normal sequential playback.

Re-verify Media Location: Go to the Music app Settings, navigate to the Files section, and re-select or update your media folder path to force the app to properly re-index local library file connections.

Clear the Music Cache: Quit the Music app, clear out the local cache files (without deleting your preference files or listen history), and relaunch the app to clear corrupted queue states.

MacBook Pro Stuck one One Song:

It might be in a Playing Next Loop. To fix this, sign out of Apple Music, and then sign back in. See my User Tip: Fixing the Music App Stalled in a “Playing Next Loop” - User Tip
