Music app not working on iPad / iPadOS 17

I have the same problem after update to IOS 17. I have made everything but the music app doesn’t work. It looks like an issue connecting to internet. It tries so many times and finish getting frozen. I just wanted the crossfade option, but now I don’t have music. Do I have to cancel my subscription?

Also 6th gen iPad. I only need the app to play music I have input from cd’s or conversions to digital from vinyl. That represents 99% of my music. The 1% is music I purchased from the store. So I have no need or desire to stream music. Just want to play music that I have downloaded to the device and it won’t do that. What is it trying to load? If I get it to play a song, can’t pause, advance to next song, stop playing, etc. and then when I close the app, it takes 10 seconds to stop playing the song. I have uninstalled iTunes from a Windows 11 pc, erased my iPad, only to find the problem is Apple.

I don’t think Apple will fix it, we’re in iOs 17.3 and it still happens, I have the exact same issue with 2 iPhones, an 11 and a brand new 13, music just stops unexpectedly and if I hit play the songs starts from the beginning. It’s very unpleasant for that to happen, and it’s incredibly frustrating that no one from Apple assists me

Oh no. May be worth shooting them an email too so they know it's a wider problem.

It does seem like the update to PadOS 17.2 appears to have fixed the issue. I will be keeping an eye on this problem to see if it reoccurs.

I have been having the same issue I have deleted the app more than twice. I have reset my iPad (9th generation) back to factory settings more than twice and it does not give me the option to delete the 17 update and it’s still doing the stalling when it plays music or if I search for a song . I’m almost at the point where I want to cancel my Apple Music . I got an update from apple communications the other day when I spoke with apple support and nothing has changed at all.

Yes, same problem. But much of the time I open the app and the music I've downloaded shows up as the titles, but nothing else. Can't play them. So I hard close the app (a couple times, usually) and then they all show up and I can play the songs I've loaded on my iPad. But again, sometimes it just hangs after a song. I hit "pause" and it does nothing. It's very annoying. Anyone at Apple working on this?

Oh, NOT a subscriber to Apple Music. I just want to have my own music that I've loaded and play it.

I did the 17.2 update. Apple Music on my iPad worked briefly then froze up. I restarted and things seemed to be fine for about a week. Now it’s freezing up again. Has anyone else that did the 17.2 update have it work for several days, only to have it crash again? This is extremely frustrating.

Crazy problem. Music app commandeers the iPad without me using it or selecting anything and plays the last played song sporadically but usually at 4 am. If I mute/pause it unmutes, if I turn sound down it immediately turns vol up full. While I’m turning the vol down it’s cranking it back up. There’s no way to control it or stop it so I had to delete the app. Tried reloading the app, same problem. IPad 17.1.2 iPad Pro (12.9-inch) (3rd generation)
