ApplicationMusicPlayer / MediaPlayer Refuses to Play

We use BassDSDPlayer / SFBAudioEngine to play just about any file, but playing Apple Music is failing. All subscriptions are up to date. We stop the SFBAudioEngine and the BassDSDPlayer before playing Apple Music to no avail.

Any help would be appreciated.
