Desktop Apple music is skipping songs

I had the same problem, Finally, I found a solution

STEP 1 : Delete All the files and folders in C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes

STEP 2: Close Apple Music and reopen it

Enjoy..., I hope this method works for you

Hi, I was experiencing the same issue with Apple Music desktop app, on a Microsoft Windows PC. Some songs were not played, even if I tried to click directly on it. It didn't want to play, and skipped approx. 100 songs (always the same ones). The problem didn't occur when I listened to my songs on the applemusic.com website.

I tried to delete/uninstall the app and downloaded again, it didn't work. I also tried this solution, but didn't work either:

• • STEP 1 : Delete All the files and folders in C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes
  • STEP 2: Close Apple Music and reopen it

What finally worked for me:

I noticed that the songs that weren't skipped were "Apple music" songs that had the status "Downloaded" on my PC. So, I right clicked on the songs and did "Remove Download" (NOT "DELETE FROM LIBRARY").

Now it stopped skipping them and I can click to play all of them. I downloaded them again and still working.

Hope this helps!

I have the same issue...

The fix DOES NOT work for me...

Only fix i have on windows is going unto the web player... until they fix this.

ONE THING... if you have a long playlist you listen to on the web player... remember to scroll all the way to the bottom first. Otherwise it will only play the songs it have loaded...

The remove download method worked like a charm! This was because I had previous downloads and my session expired (hadn't turned my PC on for a while). When I re-signed in, AM would not play any of my downloaded files. Removing the downloads, then re-downloading them solved this problem. Many thanks.

If you install either of the Apple Music, Apple TV, or Apple Devices apps for Windows then any existing install of iTunes becomes crippled such that it will only display Audiobooks and Podcasts sections of the library. Uninstall each of the new apps and iTunes should be restored to working order. You will likely need to actively select the Music section of the library next time you open it.

I got another solution and it's disabling IPv6 from your adapter. I did that and somehow the app started working again. I don't know why, this app is so weird.

Dude, thank you so much I've had this issue for months and this is what finally fixed it

Ok, been trying to figure this out for a long time and FINALLY have it working correctly. By default, the PC Apple Music app is only playing random songs or songs that are downloaded. To test this, download an album, and you'll see that it only downloads random songs, not the entire album. It then skips the ones that are not downloaded.

To fix this, I disabled IPv6 by going to my network Wi-Fi, change adapter options, right click on my network, properties, and uncheck "Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6). I kept IPv4 checked. Now whether I download songs, or not, I can play them all! Hope that helps!

"Remove Download" worked for me, then downloading after signing in again worked! Talk about counter-intuitive!! Just glad I can blast my Metallica while I sharpen my chainsaws again!! Lock and Load!!

I know it's about Apple Music for Windows but I have the same issue in the macOS app.

Try holding down option+cmd as you launch Music to open it in its safe mode. This can sometimes help with odd issues.

Reinstall iTunes.

Thanks RexAero! It worked like a charm!

This method worked for me! I was having this same issue.

Thank you man it actually fixed it, was not expecting it to work. This just proves how weird the app really is
