Has anyone received in the past couple of weeks the message on their music " this content is not authorized"?? It happen usually after it asks for your apple ID and password when trying to play a song...
iPhone 6, iOS 10.3.2
I just had this problem too and found the solution.
On the old iOS you were able to have mobile data switched off for Music but you were still able to play downloaded music. On the newer iOS you have to switch mobile data on, but don't worry you now have the option to choose exactly which kinds of music tasks you allow your mobile data to be used for.
So go to Settings > Music > Mobile Data then click the toggle so that the green shows.
When you do this you will see two more options appear below: 'Streaming' and 'Downloads' - just make sure both of those are off.
I assume Apple just needs the ability to use mobile data to verify your Apple Music membership.

You have posted in the Apple Music community.
You will have to validate you have an active and paid subscription before streaming Apple Music or listening to music you have downloaded for offline listening. Same as other streaming services.
With Apple Music, you are not paying for your music. You are paying for a subscription to listen to music.
Once that is validated, via a data connection, the music will play.
If you're missing or can't play music
- Make sure that you're signed in with the Apple ID and password that you use with your Apple Music membership and to make purchases from the iTunes Store.
- Check to see if your Apple Music membership is active.
- Check to see if the purchases are hidden, then unhide them.
- Learn what it means if songs appear in gray text.
- Learn what to do if you see an exclamation mark next to content in iTunes.
- Learn what to do if you don’t see all of your songs, albums, playlists, or other imported content after you update iTunes on your computer.
I did all of that. And still have the same problem
Thank you SOOO much! I was just sooo frustrated trying to listen to my music outside of WIFI and I was loosing my fricking mind!
Thanks again!!
Requiring a data connection for your content that you pay for is why I'm moving away from Apple. Their quality not only hit rock bottom but it started to dig through the rock to try and get crappier.
How do you expect to listen without some kind of internet connection??? You can download some if you have space...
Yes it happened with me also many time in a day
Oh my gosh! You are a legend thank you!
