`Apple Music` skips tracks.

Ok I've figured it out! It's an authorisation problem. What you have to do is trigger an authorisation by clicking:

Account > Authorisations > Authorise this computer

This will tell you you're already authorised but it will also fix the problem.

Just had same problem.

FIXED: Open iTunes > Account (top nav) > View My Account > Sign into your account > Go back to the track that was not playing and it sound now work

Thanks, this fixed for me. It seems that the itunes update logged me out of my Apple ID somehow, so my Apple Music subscription was not registering as current. I knew it must have something to do with this because it was skipping to songs that were part of my original iTunes library (i.e., songs that I had ripped from CD or purchased from iTunes, and skipping past "apple music" songs).

Had the same problem after the last update, On my iMac. Signing out and then in

to Apple Music solved it for me.

For me (at least so far) logging out from my account and then back in seems to have fixed this. Though now iTunes is going through the uploading music thing all over again.

Quite a few odd things going on after re-logging in too - 2 factor code showed up on the Mac but not my iPad or phone, then the Apple site said that there was a problem with logging me in (unauthorised or something!). I got there eventually though.

Sign out of Itunes and then sign back in. Worked for me!

I have the same issue with my mac in Brazil.... however it works perfectly on my iphone...

I have the same issue after the latest update, and I'm in the US

Download it from here and reinstall. That fixed it for me.

Correction: It immediately broke again.

thank you, it works now! 🙂

This is, what's called a work-around. iTunes should ask you, the user, to reauthorize, or not mess things up in the first place. Good find, though.

I'm having the same problem also (in Australia), also noticed it happening while playing an apple music playlist on many songs through my iPhone as well as iTunes doing it. I've signed out, quit, restarted, signed back in a number of times but keeps on skipping tracks in the same way others have mentioned in this thread. Cancelling Apple Music now and will keep an eye out for if it ever gets resolved.

Same here in Mexico yesterday iTunes with Apple Music started skiping tracks randomly and sometimes it only plays a few seconds of a song, the streaming progress bar load just a few seconds and stops, when the play marker reaches the loaded stream it skips to another track. I tried signing out and in again. My iPhone with apple music is working fine.

Possible Resolution:

If they are downloaded/offline songs - redownload them again

If they are online songs - could be a network issue - audio streaming not fully loading the songs - reboot wifi/router -

Same here, iPhone skips constantly - ever since I signed up to the apple music family subscription, usually skips around 3.20 into the track, but the screen still displays the track even though it's the following one playing, and when you press skip it shows the following track (currently playing) at around 15 seconds in...

Far from a smartphone, my iPods never did this
