My Apple Music keeps buffering songs that I’ve downloaded and it won’t let me listen to my music that is downloaded without internet or data. Why?

Hello Asia_Capri,


Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities. We understand you are experiencing some issues with some of your downloaded music in Apple Music. We are happy to help provide some guidance.


Just to confirm, this issue is only happening with music that you have downloaded for offline listening in Apple Music? Does this happen with all of your downloaded music, or only certain songs? Have you had a chance to close the Music app and restart your device?


As a test, we would recommend trying to remove one of the songs that are affected and redownload it for offline listening in Apple Music to see if that same behavior persists.


Keep us updated on how it goes. We hope this information helps.


Cheers.
