Music streaming slow for anyone else?

Hi,

Same Problem Here! And now it is happening in all my devices, iPhone 6 and 4S, iPad 3, iMac and MacBook...

At first everything was OK... This issue has started for a couple of day ago.

My Internet is fast (100mb/s), and I verified that the TuneIn and Spotfy are working perfectly!

So definitely the problem is in the Apple Music!

😟

Hi,

One more thing ... I have observed that this problem is occurring with some songs, perhaps older or less heard. And the problem occurs mainly in the Playlists suggested by Apple Music.

🙂

Same here, itunes on windows.. didn't tried on other devices yet

I do, and it's driving me nuts!

Everytime iTunes is running in background — i.e., everytime it's not to be seen on screen — the streaming will loose its pace and the music playing will become intermittent. As soon as I pull iTunes back on screen, I will see the downloading bar starting to fill faster and the music will play smoothly.

It's ridiculous, I just can't believe Apple did it so dumbly. I don't want to keep staring at iTunes, I just want to listen to the music.

Same here...

Just tried to play a song on my iMac via Apple Music and it took forever to load, then when it did start it stuttered. Same thing happened on my MacBook Pro. Tried the same song on Spotify via iMac and no problems.

Then tried the same song via Apple Music on my iPhone and no problem.It seems there is a problem with the iTunes interface even though I've updated it recently to 12.2.1 - maybe it needs updating again...

All devices on the same network at 75 mbps btw.

Looks like Apple made the right decision to give us a free 3 month trial, although if this continues I won't be switching from Spotify any time soon.

Interesting.

Yes I think you're right about the CDN. I just bought a song from the iTunes store which has so far taken 2 minutes to download (on my 75 mbps connection) and isn't half way done yet!

It's slow for me on everything. Whether that be iPhone, iPad or macbook.

Also Wifi and 4G.

I have a minor success, but very, very rare,

Spotify for me it looks

Yeah, same issue! It's dead slow! Feels like I am waiting for ages for the songs to load.

Same problems here. Also tried listening to a particular album and I've gotten two different error messages.

The album in question for me is "Yes: Going For the One"

Absolutely. iTunes is horribly slow most of the time. (even without streaming).

They’re changing both the software & security methodology, I think.

If you refuse the 3 month trial of Apple Music - it nags & nags, as well as runs excruciatingly slow, so its not the trial itself (?)

I just started buying music off of iTunes again - and suddenly one day - it just says “nope!.” Fine. I can buy elsewhere & skip iTunes if this continues.

I’m half convinced the sudden appearance of error 50 is the result of refusing the “trial” --

as I am now seeing it after finally "updated” the iTunes portion of an iPad I had been holding off on & issues there too.-

Issues are getting to be chronic. Y’know, I can run Windows with the same level of issues.

SCRUB my tirade.

The service was down & once it came back up access returned.

Same Problem Here.

Has anyone from Apple Offered any Suggestions?

Add me too. Apple Radio us unusable. I will not continue after the trial period if this issue is not fixed.

And now we have OS X 10.10.5, iTunes 12.2.2.25 and the same annoying problem.

Apple, for streaming sake, you have a background cache loading problem, at least! Let's tweak those process priorities, shall we?
