Inconsistent in the number but Apple Music on my desktop stops every time. I play my station, servers songs go by, it stops playing… hit play again, couple more songs play again.
this is really what I’m paying for? Bout to switch back to Spotify. Infuriating.
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15
Hello,
I have the same issues with Apple Music. Not only radio stations stops playing without any reason after several songs, but also my own playlists as the playlist in Apple Music stops playing without any reason after some songs.
This problem is on my iMac with Big Sur 11.3.1
And there are a lot of other issues and bugs in Apple Music.......

Brand new M1 MacBook Pro. Wifi isn’t an issue as I get the same problem on multiple networks. It’s only playing radio stations, mostly custom stations. After some number of songs, it just stops. I hit play/pause to start it again and it replays the last song it played before stopping and then starts working again for some amount of songs.

Apple Music IS still current and subscribe to Apple One. It happens on all personalized radio stations I’ve created.
I haven’t tried this on other devices but seems to be specific to Apple Music app. If I use my homepod to “play Ben’s station” it’ll play without an issue it seems.
Exact same problem here... only on my own created stations. 1-2 songs maximum, then stops. This has only been happening since 11.3.
While we're at it, how come we can't do the infinity thing on stations we can do on our own playlists (to make it keep going with similar music forever)?
I do not think I am in the minority: I use Music all day at work as background, and it has become terrible for doing that. I wish we could bring back the ability to continually add songs to a station so you end up with more stuff you like... something Spotify used to let us do (I don't know if it still does, but I may have to go back there to find out).
iTunes got to be a hot mess at the end, but I'd go back to it over Music (especially on MacOS) if I could, as it gave you much more control......
You're not in the minority. I'm lucky to get 2 to 3 songs out of my "made for you" station on Music (Big Sur - iMac mid 2017). Both at work and at home. I can't comment on the iOs app but this bug has crippled the desktop app.
