Issues and Lags with Apple Music (July 2024)
Has anyone been experiencing issues with Apple Music lately? Over the past few weeks, I've encountered persistent problems with music playback. For example, songs start playing but then stop after about 10 seconds. Sometimes they resume randomly, while other times they don’t continue at all. Additionally, there's a noticeable lag when switching between songs, which disrupts the listening experience.
These issues are happening across all my Apple devices, including my Mac, iPhone, HomePod, and Apple TV. I’ve confirmed that at least five other people in my region are facing the same problems. We’ve all reported these issues to Apple Support, but their troubleshooting steps seem unrelated, such as checking for VPN usage and restarting devices. It's becoming clear that this is likely a server-side issue.
Is anyone else experiencing similar problems with Apple Music? How have you dealt with them?
