Random songs/albums just play glitchy static noises on apple music.

Ever since yesterday I've noticed that some albums and songs in my library will either just not play at all, or will play a very loud glitchy and or static noise. I tried playing my Tinashe album and almost all of the songs play a loud glitchy noise and no music whatsoever. If anyone has this or knows how to fix it please let me know!!

iPhone XS Max, iOS 14

Hello gavinstc,


We understand some of your songs are not playing, and some have static. You’re in the right place, we’d be glad to assist in seeking a solution.


Have you noticed this sound on any other apps? If so, try the steps here: If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker


If this only happens in the Music app, are these songs purchased from iTunes? If so, try deleting one of the affected songs, and redownload it to test the issue: Redownload music


Let us know the results.


Take care.
