- After you run the update function, you may need to wait a few minutes for the server to talk with your computer; if your tracks' status still don't change within the hour, it might be worth considering wiping and rebooting your iCloud Music Library. Update August 2019: Updated through macOS Mojave and macOS Catalina beta.
- When Apple released macOS Catalina in the fall of 2019, it also quietly closed the book on iTunes. If your Mac runs Catalina or any later version of macOS (like Big Sur or Monterey), the iconic but now-ancient music management software is no more. The good news is that does not mean your library is gone.
- OS: macOS Mojave 10.14.5 GPMDP Version: 4.6.1 Issue Descriptions: Stuck on Loading Music Library after opening.
Go to /Library and remove any folders that have Music or iTunes in the name. Go to /Library/Caches and delete any folders with Music or iTunes in the name.

Start the Mac in safe mode for testing purposes. Safe mode can help tell us if the issue is possible login items. Be aware that internet access is limited in safe mode, but sometimes just starting in this mode and then restarting normally can resolve some issues: How to use safe mode on your Mac.
Why Won't My Icloud Music Library Load
If you experience the same issue in safe mode and even after restarting normally again, Creating a test user account can help determine if the issue is caused by third-party software: How to test an issue in another user account on your Mac. There's steps to take further in that resource, depending if the issue happens in the test user account or not but you can also let us know the results.
Cheers.
