Downloaded music on iPhone skips and hisses in Music app

music playing from my downloads on iPhone will start this strange skipping event. The music all of sudden stops and a hissing skipping event starts; hiss for 2 seconds and silence for a second and this continues until i hit stop; if i hit play again, it continues with the hiss/skip. Have to close the music app and restart.

iPhone 13 mini, iOS 26

A playback glitch or corrupt audio file is causing the hiss/skip loop. Restart your iPhone, re-download affected songs, disable Dolby/Lossless temporarily, refresh your Apple Music account, ensure free storage, and rebuild the Music library. These steps typically resolve the issue.
