Apple Music

I've noticed this only happens when i have lossless audio turned on. Many of the songs in my playlists give me a "An unknown error occurred (-42670)" message.

Often when selecting a track in my playlists, the app will skip through multiple songs and eventually land on one that starts playing. However, the same unplayable song from my playlist will still work if i look it up in apple music search and play from the album.

My other options are shown in the image attached. Make sure you clear already downloaded lossless files (you’ll have to clear all). You’ll then need to switch of automatic downalods and download in Dolby to make sure you don’t accidentally download a losless file. Give your phone a reset and hopefully that works 🤞

I’m also facing the same issue. In my case I disconnected from my WiFi and reconnected again and tried playing. It worked. I think the 42670 error is due to sudden dips in the network speeds. But the unplayable downloaded lossless files bug couldn’t be solved. The new Apple Music ecosystem has a lot many bugs.

So, the issue seems to be lossless for mobile data. After switching this off, lossless files have worked perfectly for me; However, only when connected to Wi-Fi.

This happens to me almost more often than not at the moment. Which sucks because I just bought AirPod Max’s.

The behaviour I get is music will start skipping, it will eventually stop skipping but music won’t play, and will then give the same error -47260 if you attempt to:

Usually starts when listening to a lossless song, not sure if all the songs being skipped are also lossless though.

Happens on both cellular and wifi. Have used different wifi networks during this time apple music will behave the same, so it’s not a connectivity issue. Seems like a bug in apple music.

Force quitting apple music seems to resolve it temporarily, but for me, it seems to just continue happening again after a while.

thanks a lot. I went to the settings and turned off the lossless audio settings and all my music was back to playing however I could only stream. This is because on my settings the "Download in Dobly Atmos" was turned on. Once I turned it off and re-downloaded my music, I could listen offline with no hiccups.

This is a new issue because previously I did not have an issue with my downloaded music. Anyways the music is still of high quality. and when I stream I get it in Dobly Atmos which is fine with me.

If I delete the HLS download and re-download Lossless again the track will play! Go figure....

Same issue - skips all downloaded Lossless tracks until it finds a non lossless, I do not get any error messages though. Restarting Apple Music has no effect - so I can't play any lossless downloaded tracks!!!

I’ve tried this but it’s still happening for me. This is so frustrating because I haven’t been able to listen to anything for the past few days. What do you think I should do? Truly considering switching back to Spotify but I like the sound quality on Apple Music much better…

I just downloaded the ‘hits in spacial audio’ playlist to confirm and even when it’s downloaded it will skip continuously

it’s really impossible to listen music. it won’t start also if downloaded in lossless or standard quality.

I’m having the same issue, so frustrating…

I’m not having any luck 😅 let’s see if apple support have a solution…

The same for me, its really really frustrating!!! My life is music! I do everything listening to music on my airpods, and I just cant now!!!! Apple please fix it !!!!!!!!

It seems to be the only way I’ve been able to stream lossless files for now…best of luck!
