I can’t do the most basic of tasks on Apple Music on my Windows PC - I literally can’t play music!

I’ve tried:

- redownloading the app

- deleting all local state in the Music folder

- logging out of my account, and logging back in

- deauthorising my PC, then reauthorising it

It just never starts playback, no matter what I do!

Cider works fine. The Music apps on my phone and Mac work fine. Very weird.

edit: plus, they have a lot of problems with music artists getting mixed together - if an artist has a common name, say “Ray”, you’ll see music from other artists with the same name mixed in. Apple’s support totally disclaim responsibility and said I should contact the record label to get them to correct it. This is absolutely ridiculous, and the record label predictably doesn’t care. It ruins recommendations :/
