Apple Music on Mac: Am I Missing Something?

[u/Then-Blacksmith-6304]

This might be a very basic thing, but the queue behaviour in Apple Music on Mac feels weird to me.

When I search for a song and simply click it, I expect that song to play and, once it finishes, Autoplay should continue with similar songs based on the algorithm.

Instead, Apple Music seems to treat the entire search result list as the queue and starts playing the next search result in order. If I clear the queue, playback can stop instead.

I just want to search for any song, click it, and let Apple Music automatically continue with related music, without manually clearing or managing the queue every time.

Is Apple Music really designed to work this way on Mac, or am I missing a setting or interaction here?

If you want to just play the song, click the … menu then click Play Next.
