Did gnome-music work for you in a previous version? Did downgrading
again fix the problem for you?

Fwiw, it works for me (and a small unrelated to your issue bug fix
has been committed to svn already - namely depend on grilo-plugins-0.3,
so make sure you have that package installed as well).

I searched google and ran into someone having similar problems at:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=193754
That discussion happened way before gnome-music 3.20 was released so
likely you have some kind of general issue with gnome-music (possibly
related to tracker data, but the discussions on the forum is quite vague).
It looks to me like someone (who can reproduce the issue?) might have
to get their hands dirty and debug this. If you could please investigate
if there's any upstream bug report for this issue otherwise please file
one....
