How do I redownload incomplete or corrupted songs?

I got a new iPhone and restored it from a backup of the old phone. I'm finding several songs only play partially, maybe 20% of the song, and then skip to the next song. If I manually move the slider into the last 80% of the song, there's just silence. How do I replace these corrupt song files on the iPhone?

Hi Markarian421,

I understand that after recently updating your iPhone, some of your songs won't finish playing. I know it's important to be able to listen to your music on your iPhone, so I'm happy to help.

Since it seems to be isolated to just a few songs, it may be best to sync them to your iPhone again. You can find out more about how to do that here:
