Apple Music stopping after 15 seconds. Error code 16833

I was tired of deleting and redownloading my music AND each time I did that I had to redownload my exercise playlists to my Apple Watch. For some reason it messed up all of my itunes playlists. Super frustrating.

my apple music stops playing after 15 seconds and Idk why. I've tried everything and it's only a problem when i listen to downloaded music. can someone please help and if I don't hear from apple I'm switching to Spotify cuz i pay money for this and if my 10 dollars a month are going to waste then I'm sorry but I gotta switch.

I’m 100% with you. I switched from Spotify to Apple Music because I wanted the Siri functionality in it. Now Siri works with Spotify. I’m paying Apple one at 15$ a month. I’m getting very irritated that I’m paying for this and it’s working half a**. The only reason I haven’t switched back to Spotify is because I haven’t wanted to sit down and find a conversion app and spend 2 hours downloading my 800+ songs. Pretty soon I’m gonna have time and sit down and switch back. This issue is becoming very very annoying.

I’m having the exact same issue. Thought it was my iPhone. If I’m listening to music on the tube with no connections but the music is downloaded, after 15 seconds the song cuts out and the music app bugs and I can’t get anything to play from that album. It’s driving me absolutely insane. I’ve turned atmos off, logged in and out of music (at the expense of having to download everything again) but nothing is working.

There must be some way of fixing this surely?

I have tried everything on this thread and none of it worked!

and today even on my cellular data it stopped working!!! What

It really started to ****** me off apple needs to work this issue otherwise I’m stopping my Subscription

I can't believe Apple hasn't sorted this issue out. It's incredibly frustrating when I'm trying to listen to a song and then it just randomly stops at 15 seconds.

Sort your **** out Apple, for Christ's sake! Typical Apple though, introducing a feature that barely works 👍👍

You can create a Shortcut that takes all of your songs and puts it into a playlist. By the way, I use a smart playlist created on my laptop to do this. But sadly, you can’t create a smart playlist directly on the iOS version of Apple Music.

im having the exact same problem and its seeming like apple doesnt care how long people have been paying for the service , its october and im still having the same issue, found it in july and nothing is working.. im just gonna switch to spotify its the superior music platform anyway

Been having this problem on my iPhone X, iPad (9th), and while using CarPlay. Everything is updated, and I've tried the sign out of iCloud, etc trick and it still won't work. Agree with others that this should be a quick fix, especially because its a pay service...seems no one has a solid solution....unless I missed something...

this is still happening to me every 15 seconds even with lossless audio , it pauses every 15 seconds , sometimes it happens , sometimes it doesn’t , it’s annoying though , ever since lossless came this started happening & hasn’t stopped since , hope apple can fix this because it’s been going on for so long

I think this is my problem as well… so very annoying. I took a week of vacation to rip all of my CDs a few years ago, I’ll have to listen to those on my streamer and start purging them from my Apple library.

I've tried everything, nothing has worked!

Unfortunately Apple managed to destroy the wonderful experience of listening to music created by Apple itself with the first iPod in the year 2001!

Apple is your worst enemy!

I'm switching to Tidal!
