Jul 13, 2015 8:54 AM in response to DigitalDougieby Mostovoym,I am with the same problem. I still didn't have the time to try this and see if it works, but I just found a possible solution:
Problem #2: Apple Music playback automatically pauses when connection type changes (LTE, 3G, 4G)
Have you noticed that when you go through an area where your service/ connection speeds change, Apple Music pauses and you have to hit play to resume playback even with offline streaming? Yeah, it’s kind of a quirky issue.
The Fix: Even if you are playing offline music, when away from a Wi-Fi connection you have to allow Apple Music to use cellular data for it to work properly. This can be done by going into Settings>Cellular> Music app and enable (set to green). This will prevent it from pausing during playback as you travel through different network connections.

Jul 17, 2015 5:34 AM in response to Mostovoymby SamGray,Just thought I'd add some weight by saying this is happening to me. And is very irritating. Please mend.

Jul 17, 2015 5:45 AM in response to DigitalDougieby Sonia Vive,Appreciate the help and I have made those changes; still pausing. Also, if I skip a song, iMusic doesn't play it until I have a full signal.
Part of my issue is that I don't understand why I need to use my data for songs that I have already downloaded.

Jul 17, 2015 8:23 AM in response to DigitalDougieby Mostovoym,For me that solution is not working, either.
This problem is really annoying. =/

Jul 17, 2015 1:20 PM in response to DigitalDougieby OrangeNYC,I am having the exact same issue, even with songs I've made available offline. I tried the suggestion above and I still have the problem. I called support and they told me to reboot the iPhone 5 and I still have the problem. It's a shame, because otherwise I love Apple Music and would absolutely continue on with it after the free trial, but if they don't fix this glitch it's a deal-breaker for me.

Jul 20, 2015 1:12 AM in response to DigitalDougieby stralex,I have the same problem with offline music. The fix doesn't work(it's enabled by default), the only way is to switch to Airplane mode during my commute to/from work.
Looks like Music App is heavily relies on online content even if you made it 'Available for offline', the whole can freeze at some point if you're not connected to wifi/data.

Jul 21, 2015 10:37 AM in response to DigitalDougieby Mist3r_V,Also having this issue. Even with data turned on. Music randomly pauses when i'm driving even though the music is downloaded to the phone. It's even happening with the ios 9 beta.

Jul 22, 2015 2:55 AM in response to DigitalDougieby CrashOver1D,Same problem for me, even with cellular data activated for Apple Music (already set from the start)
I am using Apple Music (with downloaded songs) a lot during my travel to work (Train)
First half of this travel is in exterior, no problem at all, and after that I have couple of small Tunnel and after a very long Tunnel untill where I stop
Apple music playing is a total mess in the small period of exterior/tunnel changing, pausing constansty, and after that in the Long Tunnel, couple of stations had data network and can mess with my music too
Very annoying, expect this to be patch soon

Jul 22, 2015 7:05 AM in response to DigitalDougieby sodaboy581,Both my wife's iPhone and mine have the same problem. We've also got cellular data turned on for music. Music randomly pauses while driving or walking around. Even with songs I've downloaded or even songs I've had on my iPhone pre-Apple Music streaming. Have to always manually unpause immediately when it pauses and it's good to go. Extremely annoying...

Jul 28, 2015 9:44 AM in response to DigitalDougieby Parker234,I can add my name to those who are experiencing this. I will also choose not to renew Apple Music when my trial expires if this isn't fixed. Especially when I'm in the middle of an intense workout I should not have to stop every five minutes to un-pause my music. And especially when I'm driving!
I know it's not a hardware thing related to my headphones, because when I use Instacast to listen to podcasts the shows never once pause or stop playing. It's only Apple Music. I download my workout playlist to work offline. It worked great for me with Spotify, and I expect better from Apple Music.
I have cellular turned off on my phone for a reason: I have a cheap service that only allows me 500MB a month of data. If Apple's fix is to require me to allow cellular then I'll just go back to Spotify, because this was never a problem with Spotify and I can't afford to let a few MB here and there trickle through from Apple Music.

Jul 29, 2015 12:22 PM in response to DigitalDougieby patrick90,I have the same issue as well - I was going nuts trying to find a reason for it before coming across this topic.
I will be testing with cell data on for Apple Music for now, if that doesn't work I guess its Airplane mode for me while driving.
This needs to be fixed ASAP, its a ridiculous bug - unacceptable. If the music was streaming or in anyway DRM'd then I could maybe understand, but its not.

Jul 30, 2015 5:53 PM in response to DigitalDougieby PhatHead_29,I'm also having this issue. It's annoying as ****. Is everyone using the native music player or have you tried another player?
