Q: Music skips randomly, songs start 20 seconds in

Hey,

 

Ever since I updated to iOS 10, I have a few problems with the music app when playing songs (through USB, Bluetooth,  and the phone itself):

 

1. Songs start 20 seconds in when skipping track AND when ending the previous track.

2. Sometimes halfway through a song it'll skip to the next one

3. If I pick a song on the list it stars 17-21 seconds in about 80% of the time

4. If I have set start/stop times in iTunes they are ignored (i.e. ending a song early or starting a song after the intro)

 

These issues occur on my iPhone 6 after updating to iOS 10, and my iPhone 7

iPhone 7, iOS 10

    I have the same problem. I've performed the following steps to try to fix, to no avail:

    1. Verified that the song start/stop times were not manually specified

    2. Deleted all songs off my iPhone 7 and then resynced with my iTunes library

    3. Deleted all songs from my iPhone library and then reimported to rebuild the library, and after complete deleted all songs off my iPhone 7 and resynced with my newly-rebuilt iTunes library.

     

    The songs play with no issues on my laptop in iTunes; the issue only occurs when playing on either my iPhone 6 (standard, 128GB) or iPhone 7 (standard, 256 GB). I have not updated any other devices yet to iOS 10 due to this issue.  It does appear to be an iOS 10 bug - on each device, the times at which the songs skip to the next message are consistent every time the song is played; however, that time is different for the same song on my iPhone 6 vs 7. If this was an issue with my songs, the skip time would be consistent across devices.

    Thank you for your insight. Glad this is getting some recognition. Hopefully we can get recognition from Apple A.S.A.P.

    This is "fixed" by turning off shuffle for me. I had the same issue after updating my iPhone 6 to iOS 10, and on my brand new 7 Plus. Really frustrating to not be able to put my music on shuffle while driving. FIX THIS APPLE, PLEASE!!
