Apple music playback pause.(Signal Issue?)

Same problem here. Especially annoying with stuff already purchased. Hope iOS 9 fixes this.

This is still an issue for me too after the latest update. I have mobile data on for Music but every time I come into service after having no service my music pauses, even for downloaded songs from Apple Music and music that I actually own too.

This is an obvious bug which I'm staggered Apple can't fix, seriously considering not keeping Apple Music after the trial if this continues.

This happens to me on the subway as well, but only for music I have made available offline through Apple Music. When I enter a station that allows my phone to have a data connection (WIFI or Cellular), playback pauses. This does not happen with music I have previously purchased. The work-around I have been doing, is turning off cellular data and WIFI all together while on the subway. When doing this, the only time my music stops is when I get above ground and I turn my cell data back on.

I hope this fix this soon.

It seems that writing in these Support Communities doesn't change anything. I called Customer Sercice, and since then, I have been in contact with a regular service person, who transferred me to a senior adviser who talked to me at least 6 or 7 times, (he told me that this was a new problem, even if I told him that many peole posted very similar situations on the Apple Support Communities)and now I am in contact with an engineer at Apple in California who is taking care of the situation. I strongly suggest that you call customer Service so they will know it's not just a few isolated guys like me who are making things up.

Same issue. Driving me bonkers. Apple need to sort this out or risk alienating the majority of consumers. Is this the arrogance of Apple in full view again?

I can confirm, on my phone at least, this only happens with Apple Music content, stuff that I've downloaded to my phone for offline listening, not stuff that I actually own.

Whenever I change data connection, or get one after being out of service, music I've downloaded for offline listening pauses.

Anyone know if this bug has been fixed in iOS 9?

No, it has not been fixed. I updated to iOS 9 last night, and on the downtown 5 train out of Grand Central this morning my music stopped between 33 St and 28 St.

This issue seems to be better after iOS 9, but it still happens to me and it seems to be random.

I have this issue with music that I own. This music is stored locally on my device and is not being streamed yet it pauses itself if my signal drops connection. Have Apple come out and given any guidance on why it is doing this? I love the concept of Apple Music but this is really frustrating me that I cant listen to my own music without it pausing itself.

I'm also not a fan of the music interface on the iPhone since the release of Apple Music. I have now lost the ability to browse albums and songs.

Disappointing as Apple Music has a lot of promise but it seems to be compromising the basic features that made the iPhone a great way of combining an iPod and iPhone.

I have the problem using a BT speaker just inches away from my phone using the house Airport. Apple has ruined a really great and simple iOS in so many ways. They are the new Nokia circa 1999

It does happen to me when the cellular signal is low/lost. I think it is because even when you have music downloaded for offline play, the Music app still has to confirm that you have an active Apple Music subscription active.

I was doing some "testing" during a drive upstate NY (2.5 hours each way) when I only played from the iPhone with the "show only offline" music selected. (A playlist of 200 songs and several single albums also added.) When I went into Settings/Cellular it appears that I had used about 15MB during the total of 5 hours of driving. Don't think that that is enough to actually stream 5 hours of music, but certainly within reason to think the Music app is checking as I went along that I have an active subscription.

What I don't understand is why can't the app - if you are playing offline music - just check when you start playing music, instead of what looks like each time a song starts.

Bad problem, still happening today (October 2) with latest iOS update and iPhone 6. My son has an iPhone 5s and has the same problem. The only thing we've found that solves it is to use airplane mode. That's not a good solution if you are on the road and want to be able to receive messages.

My music has paused about 20 times today in my office.

apple music is unusable pauses/skips songs.

Spotify is the solution

Just cancelled my subscription after a very frustrating call to support. They kept coming back to my "environment" and that being the streaming issue.

Again I have NO problem with Spotify or Apple TV and any other streaming service ONLY Apple Music Playback.

Very disappointing.

I'm having an issue with the music app. Is this the same thing as Apple Music? I don't have a subscription to anything but when I am driving home from work, I'll listen to MY music and when I'll skip music as I go and I find that it'll pause on me and won't start for awhile or if I lose the musicball then open it again the music will start playing. It started happening when they "upgraded" he music app. I was hoping iOS 9 would fix it but it hasn't. Does apple actually read these forums? The problem has been happening for far too long!
