Q: Music skipping/stuttering on iPhone 7 & Mac

In Apple Music, I'm experiencing significant stuttering/skipping on both my iPhone 7, iPad Pro, & Mac Mini. By stuttering and skipping, I mean that while a song is playing, suddenly a few seconds of a different song will play or silence will occur, and then a few seconds of the selected song will play again.

 

Here is the kicker, I have noticed is that it's not an issue with every song. It seems to happen with certain artists and songs/albums over multiple genres. In the past, if this happened, I switched to listening to the same songs on my iPhone 6/6s and a bluetooth speaker with no problem. Today, the issue occurs no matter the Apple device or speaker setup I use.

  • My iPhone 7 and iPad are using the latest iOS and the issue occurs when using the device speakers or a bluetooth speaker.
  • My Mac Mini (last version released) is using the Sierra OS and the issue occurs on my wired speakers.

 

I have search and have not found previous questions/solutions with enough similarity to be helpful.

 

Thanks much!

iPhone 7, iOS 10.0.2, also: iPad Pro, Mac Mini, Sierra OS
