Apple Lossless playback audio skips

When engaging Apple Lossless audio on Apple Music on my iMac, the music will almost always suffer a micro "skip" within 30 seconds of a track playing back. This upsets the tempo of the music and is unacceptable. It ruins the enjoyment of your music. Turning off Apple Lossless and going back to AAC fixes this. Why can't Apple fix this? It's as though the Apple Music playback software cannot switch cleanly between different profile levels of the playback streams.

Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities, cmecak,


We understand you're hearing skips while listening to music on your iMac. We'd be happy to help you troubleshoot this.


Test to see if this same issue occurs in a new user account:

Change Users & Groups settings on Mac - Apple Support


Once you have the account created, log out of your own account and into the new one. You’ll also need to set up Apple Music to test the issue or redownload some of your songs into this Music Library.


Let us know the results.

Have a great day!
