My music just stops in the middle! Both iTunes and iPhone

I have a problem in both iTunes and iPhone when playing music. On iTunes, a song will suddenly stop in the middle and go on to the next song. On iPhone, the audio for the song will stop in the exact same place as on iTunes, but the timer will continue to tick as if the song is still playing, and the phone still shows as being in play mode. The remaining time will tick away in silence and then the next song starts normally. This always happens at the same point in the affected songs. This only happens with purchased music, but only with some purchased music, not all. All music was legitimately purchased. This only began happening after I updated my phone to iOS 5.

ITunes 10.5.3.3 and iPhone 4 running iOS 5.0.1.

If anyone could help I would appreciate it.

iPhone 4, iOS 5.0.1

I'm having this problem as well since upgrading to Sierra. I've had a enormous problems with iTunes Match (which worked OK by itself) and iMusic compatibility since adding iMusic services ( Albums missing, songs missing, coming and going, downloaded Albums disappearing from my iPhone,etc.) But, This is a new problem I believe starting with Sierra. Downloaded music on my iPhone pauses while playing back through the cars Bluetooth. Apple says there may be VW patch for my car's Fender stereo! But also songs stop playing on my iMac with nothing else running. I've turned off Notifications, etc., Reloaded Sierra, reloaded My iTunes library, spent mutilple hours with Apple Support. I'm getting ready to look for a new music player and give up on iTunes and I music altogether.

Streaming music to my Apple TV, especially with iTunes radio, will always shut off in the middle of songs after working for about 3-4 minutes. Haven't found a fix and I have been providing Apple feedback about the issue. It only happens with Apple TV, and it is very bad when streaming Radio to the Apple TV. iTunes completely stops. It still says it is playing music, but the time for the song that is playing is stuck at 0:00. Most annoying is it has been happening for quite a while. Hey, I have ringtones though.

I have the same problem. iTunes sound just stops, but the song keeps playing, if I PAUSE it and unpause it the sound starts again... this does this with blue tooth on, I also put it in airplane mode, and "moon" mode to make sure it was not any stupid notifications...still did it. I will try using a wire and see if it does it that way. I think it does because when this started happening before I thought it was just the wire. SO FRUSTRATING!!!! I really am beginning to hate iTunes and Apple stuff, cant they fix this junk? My Android has no problems... Sorry I said the "A" word. ;-) iTunes on my Macbook Pro does the same freakn thing through BlueTooth. I think it is a bluetooth problem?

Found this in another Forum

"Right click on the video-in-question and click "Get Info". Then, go to the "Options" tab and uncheck the "Remember playback position" box."
