Apple Music Songs Skipping/not playing

I updated to iOS 13.4.1 last night and today the playback on my Apple Music is choppy. Sometimes the song won't start right away or it will skip (like a scratched disk would). Anyone else having a similar problem that found a solution?

Some songs not downloading in lossless quality in Apple Music for iPhone I just noticed that some of the songs that I downloaded in my library aren't downloaded in lossless quality even though I have lossless downloads turned on. When I erase these songs from my library and stream them using internet they play in lossless quality, and the difference when listening to them is pretty noticeable. I've tried downloading these songs again after deleting them and being able to stream them with lossless audio, but they downloaded in bad quality again. Why is this happening? (In the first picture, a downloaded song, the lossless badge is missing. In the second pictured, the same song being streamed with wi-fi, showing the lossless badge)

Apple Music stops after playing 2 songs from my library Any ideas why Apple Music - on a MacBook Pro M1 running macOS Monterey 12.4 consistently stops after playing 2 tracks from my library? Ie not streaming but playing songs I have saved on my laptop in Apple Music? After 2 tracks, the music stops playing, the name of the first track still appears at the top as if it is still playing and I need to click the skip track button to restart the music - after doing this there are no further issues and tracks play continuously. The problem occurs again after I restart Apple Music, start playing a different playlist etc

Olivia Rodrigo Happier (Explicit) crashing iOS app. https://music.apple.com/gb/album/happier/1560735414?i=1560735557 Running iOS 14.6 on iPhone SE 2 and HomePod 2018, this specific song crashes the iOS app and doesn't play but works on the HomePod, not sure why as other explicit songs don't have this problem. Anyone have any fixes or experiencing this too? Thanks

The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:
