iTunes songs looping last few seconds (repeating song-endings)

a bug that i've encountered today. looked up on the forum, had no luck. but i think i kinda figured it out myself. i cant reply to any of the questions so im posting this to help.

saw one of the comments saying this might be affected by altering the album covers (artworks) and i agree. the solution is to delete and add the music (without artworks) to your library all over again but converting the artwork into png and into a smaller size/proportion (300*300) before adding. i personally think the crucial step is the png thing at least thats what worked for me.

if youre adding local files to spotify on iPhone also make sure to check the playback settings.
