Q: Alarm not playing some songs in iOS 10
Hello
I am having a weird issue in the latest release of iOS 10 (on an iPad) where I select a certain song in the stock Clocks app to play as an alarm, but it defaults to the "radar" sound. This does not happen with all songs but it happens with a few consistently. Anyone else experiencing this and any solutions? Thanks for your help!
iPad Air, iOS 10.0.2
