Desktop Apple music is skipping songs

I'm using Apple Music from the Microsoft Store. However, whenever I attempt to play an album or any searched songs, they just skip automatically. I've tried several things like reinstalling the app, deauthorizing and reauthorizing the computer, and logging in again. Unfortunately, none of these solutions have worked.

After checking the app's reviews on the Microsoft Store, it appears that I'm not the only one experiencing this problem.

Any help?

Hi, I was experiencing the same issue with Apple Music desktop app, on a Microsoft Windows PC. Some songs were not played, even if I tried to click directly on it. It didn't want to play, and skipped approx. 100 songs (always the same ones). The problem didn't occur when I listened to my songs on the applemusic.com website.

I tried to delete/uninstall the app and downloaded again, it didn't work. I also tried this solution, but didn't work either:

- STEP 1 : Delete All the files and folders in C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes
- STEP 2: Close Apple Music and reopen it

What finally worked for me:

I noticed that the songs that weren't skipped were "Apple music" songs that had the status "Downloaded" on my PC. So, I right clicked on the songs and did "Remove Download" (NOT "DELETE FROM LIBRARY").

Now it stopped skipping them and I can click to play all of them. I downloaded them again and still working.

Hope this helps!
