This happens on my Mac Mini as well. I have tried all manner of troubleshooting, to no avail. The problem is worth with stations, but happens with playlists as well. There is no rhyme nor reason. To get the stream to restart requires closing and re-launching the Music.


I've also had this happen on other computers, as well as iPhone and iPad.

Force the app to close. Then open the app to see if it works as expected.
 
2: Restart your device
Restart your iPhone or restart your iPad. Then open the app to see if it works as expected.
