After the most recent update to IOS 15.4.1, my playlists are pausing between songs. I want to change my preferences, but cannot find preferences on my iPhone. Any suggestions?
Hello conniejo57,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. We're happy to look into this with you. We recommend that you close the Music app and test the issue again. This can help when a specific app just isn't working as expected.
Close an app on your iPhone or iPod touch
If the issue persists, restart your iPhone. Restarting is a simple step that can resolve many unexpected behaviors.
Let us know the results. Does the issue occur with all playlists? How long is the pause? Be sure to include any other troubleshooting steps that you may have tried.
Have a great day!
conniejo57,
Are all songs you're playing downloaded to your device? The delay you're experiencing may be a streaming delay depending on the speed of your network connection. Steps to ensure your songs are downloaded for offline listening can be found here: Add music to iPhone and listen offline

Have a fantastic day!
conniejo57,
Thanks so much for letting us know more.
You mentioned that the issue is only with some songs; just to confirm, when the issue happens, does it seem that the song pauses? Do any errors or messages appear on your iPhone when this issue happens? If so, what does the error say? That information can help us narrow this down more.
In the meantime, please check out the following link for some helpful information on playing and managing music on iPhone: Play music on iPhone
Thanks!
The "pause" is between songs. It's just an interruption in playlists that were once "non-stop". It's just different now. There is no error code. These playlists I download to use for fitness classes were always "non-stop" till now. conniejo57
Yes. The playlists I mentioned are downloaded to my device. Nothing has changed regarding my network connection. One day they played without no interruptions between songs, and then the next day, there were gaps between some of the songs. This happened when I did an update to IOS 15.4.1. Could be coincidental, but now the fitness playlists that are "non-stop" have pauses between some (not all) of the songs. It is not a streaming delay. I know what that is like. This is a definite STOP between songs. Thanks again. conniejo57
I did try closing the app and restarting my iPhone 12 Pro. The problem, even though it's a small one, persists. Two examples: Top 40 Hits Remixed Vol. 43; and, 2022 Hits Volume 1 Dynamix. These are supposed to be non-stop fitness playlists on Apple Music. Not every song has the gap. When it happens, it's just about a second, just enough to interrupt a fitness routine when leading a class. Until I updated my phone this was not an issue. Thanks for looking into this for me.

Where do I find "preferences" on my iPhone 12 device? Want to lose the gap between songs on playlist.
