My App started so far that I could empty with the trash icon. But see

I don't think the song count is a problem (I have 939 titles).

Just out of curiosity, could you try that, in the terminal app or
ssh[1]:

(The >>> is the python3 prompt)

$ python3
>>> import mpris2
>>> uri = next(mpris2.get_players_uri())
>>> player = mpris2.Player(dbus_interface_info:{'dbus_uri': uri})
>>> player.Play()
>>> exit()

At player.Play() your Music should be start playing. (Your log looks
like the App has an loaded playing queue.)

Maybe you also could try to empty the Queue from the App's database.
From terminal app or ssh:

$ cd .local/share/com.ubuntu.music/Databases
$ tail *.ini
$ # locate the ini with "name=music-app-metadata", i.e.
b01631344d4b1a36d6dec3179aff8784.ini
$ sqlite3 b01631344d4b1a36d6dec3179aff8784.sqlite "DELETE FROM queue;"


P.S. Do not top-post[2], use interleaved style, makes it easier to
read.
