Song ratings gone in most views in the Music app in Sequoia?

Ever since upgrading to MacOS Sequoia, I've noticed that song ratings are gone from most views in the Music app. I can still see them in the "Songs" sidebar view, but they're no longer available in any other views (playlists, album view, etc). The contextual menu when right-clicking on the Music app dock icon also no longer shows the menu option to rate a song.

Anyone know if this was a design choice? Are ratings being deprecated? I would love to once again have a way to rate songs outside of the Songs view.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 15.0

Hmm, what happens if you enable Apple Music?

Forget that, I think you might need to sign back into your Apple ID. See this thread: Ratings are not available in Apple Music … - Apple Community.

Tried both signing out of my account and signing back in and enabling Apple Music... no dice!

I take it from your response that the show song ratings option is supposed to still be there?

Check under Music > Settings > General that Show: Star Ratings is enabled. If it is turn the option off, click OK to the dialog, then turn it on again.

Do you have an active Apple Music subscription? If not then it may be a bug/feature discussed in that thread. See the top ranked reply from patrickrushton for a workaround.
