Update 18 brings back random playback issues

Songs randomly cut short, skip the beginning, or restart after a few seconds. This issue was fixed by Apple in a previous update but now it’s back with the v18 update. Do you have this issue too?

Music player pausing briefly between songs after iOS 16.2 update (same problem as 15.4) Had this same problem after 15.4: Music player pausing briefly between song… - Apple Community I noticed immediately after the 16.2 iOS update that the music player doesn't consistently move from track to track seemlessly like it should. It inserts a very brief pause between songs after every other track. Naturally this is very annoying when listening to music that moves seemlessly from one song to another, such as during a live recording. This also occurred in 15.4 and was fixed in 15.5, but the problem has reoccurred. FYI, using another music player like Foobar2000 can bypass this problem.

Current ios18 Apple Music bugs These are just the ones i’ve dealt with personally on the 12 pro and have been very disappointed in. Imported albums tracklists are not in alphabetical order like it was before updating. It’s fixed on the mac but not the iphone. App is just very slow and buggy making it hard to navigate and play songs. Takes way too long to add a song to a playlist, should be instantly added but nope. When phone battery gets low, the volume will max out at about 50% output. very strange had some instances where i couldn’t edit the discs of songs and they wouldn’t change, making it difficult to edit albums

ios 16 software bug: Audi mmi won't toggle the songs post ios 16.2 upgrade My Audi mmi won't toggle the songs post ios 16.2 upgrade. You can navigate to the playlist and go to the desired song but it won't play it. Seen this happen with one of the ios 13 roll outs too. The apple updates fix the problem, but I am up to 16.6 and the problem is still not fixed. This is a bug in the ios 16 software. Please help. The bug is discussed in ios 13 here. Update 13.2 fixed it. Please apply the same fix to ios 16. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250673178

I have the same problem. I started a playlist with an automation and the first 5-8 song skips every 3-5 seconds. Later a song skips after 30 seconds, etc. Not good.
