App Store CDpedia Version: 6.2.1
macOS Version: 12.3.1 (21E258)

It would seem that the latest release of macOS (see above) has broken the track links between CDpedia and Apple Music.

I was able to verify this issue on an M1 Mac mini and M1 Pro MacBook Pro.

I know the is an updated version of the app in the works but just wanted to report this to make sure it gets checked before the final release.

UPDATE: Opened CDpedia today to do some editing and found that the track links were back so the issues seems to be intermittent and cannot be reproduced at will.

I wonder if others have had this happen as well.

Lost the track links again this morning so this is definitely random.

Then I picked different albums throughout my collection and found that some had complete track links while some had links to only one or two tracks. I think I now know why but I will have to do a test before I jump to any conclusions.

As a follow up to the testing,I am subscribed to iTunes Match where my ripped music collection is available on any of my Apple devices via Apple Music. So I do not have to download a track to my local storage to play it.

Question. Can CDpedia link to a track in Apple Music regardless if has been downloaded to the local storage or not? In other words can it stream the track from the Apple Music library?
