I downloaded many CDs years ago when I wanted to get rid of the physical collection. In the past year more and more songs don’t reach the end. They go silent before finishing. I can’t re download them because I don’t have the CDs anymore, and they haven’t been purchased from iTunes. Am I at a loss?
iPhone 8, iOS 14
