Q: Music suddenly stops or skips to another song while it is shown that it's playing.

I was just normally playing music right after I updated to ios9.3. Then the music skips the song or stops playing. It gets fixed if you hit pause and play. I think the only solution is to go back to ios9.2. Thanks.

    Yes! Please fix this!!

     

    This problem seems to be more prevalent with music added since the update, but it's also happening to music that used to play fine before 9.3. Here are some more details I've discovered, which I can reproduce consistently (iPhone 6, iOS 9.3):

     

    With about 21-22 seconds remaining, the song will either:

    a) stop playing (silence will be heard for the remainder of the track), or

    b) another song will start playing, (from somewhere in the middle of the track, not the beginning)

     

    *** IN BOTH CASES *** :

    - pausing the music, then pressing play again resumes the original song (like gegeebo reported)

    - the music player is still showing the song that was originally playing, with the timer running to completion. For instances of scenario "b" (above), once the original song finished playing, the timer then jumps to the appropriate place in the song that was skipped to.

    I have exactly the same problem as Spiderman Bob... l've tried restoring the phone, changing libraries/playlists and deleting apps, none of which work.

     

    I have no idea what to do now.

     

    Any help would be much appreciated.
