apple music keeps stopping

I too am getting the exact same issue. There doesn't seem to be a great deal of information on it as yet though....

Yes, to be honest I have already downgraded my Apple Music subscription to the basic £9.99 for now (I did have a family sub), and have gone back to trusty Spotify. Spotify has never once let me down with poor streaming or buffering, and so far every track I've searched for, it has had! It's playlists are getting better all the time too. Perhaps Apple should stick to what their good at, great devices, rather than try to monopolise the music streaming market 😁

I loved Apple Music when it first came out and signed up on the eve first day. However, I cannot put up with the constant stopping in midstream any longer. I have both Yosemite and El Capitan on separate machines so it is not a software issue. I will keep my subscription and wait to see if they fix the problem but until then I am going back to Spotify and Amazon.

This is happening to me also, but it doesn't happen mid-song. Upon a song finishing, the next one simply refuses to play - the bar stays blue and everything just stops and you can't get the song to start. Happening on both iPhone and Mac both on latest software. It blows my mind that Apple can't get a simple streaming service working reliably, especially now we are all paying for the privilege. The fact that they never acknowledge any of these problems speaks volumes too.

Yup, me too. I get bursts of download, then nothing. Internet connection is stable and about 16mbits/sec. Trying to download everything to my iMac, but it is pants at the moment. Suspect Spotify may well be getting my monthly sub once the free trial with Apple runs out

This may not be an option for you but I solved my problem by reinstalling El Capitan and then chose *not* to update iTunes when asked, and everything is now working flawlessly, so it is clearly an iTunes issue.

Exact same issue here, and I've had this problem for a couple of weeks now.

Restarting iTunes seems to solve this, but the problem is back shortly after. Also have problems with songs lagging, and to start a song or album takes up to 30 sec. sometimes. Connected to a fast and stable 300 Mbps fiber-optic line.

This is the issue I'm having too.. Just started this morning. I think maybe it's an issue with the ads not starting.

Just an update- try turning off desktop notifications and see if that helps. Seems to have fixed it for me.

turn off ALL notifications or just the one for iTunes??

I am having the same issues of music pausing and disconnecting the airport express' that are connected to iMac running 10.11.4 and iTunes 12.3.3.17

Spent a lot of money on speakers, AE's and Sony Airplay speakers...... now it hardly works, cuts out constantly and thinking of switching to the big speaker name Sonos that is linked to Apple Music now..... but who knows if that will work...... don't feel like spending $2000 or more and find out it only partially functions due to a glitch with Apple.

FIX IT or at least give us a work-around APPLE.
