music.app stuttering

Frequent stuttering while listening to downloaded music on iPhone 6. Music is max bitrate 128kbps, limited by the iTunes sync. Conditions: Headphones or no headphones, bluetooth on or off, wifi on or off, Airplane mode or no, with or without any other apps running, rebooted and only Music.app running - you name it. Battery condition 91% and "peak performance" is still the default mode - nothing to adjust there. I even tried low power mode to make sure there was nothing else going on.

Other apps do not show this behavior - Overcast, Audible, etc. It seems very specific to this app.

Me too!

I also get it with Plex, so it seems to be all audio playback.

I’ve had 3 stutters in the last 24 hours. Roll on iOS 12 and fingers crossed.

Still stuttering for me on my 7S / 11.4.1, using any music app (tunein radio etc etc) or podcast with wired headphones only, doesn't affect my bluetooth. Getting very annoying and frustrating now!

I'm having the same issue on my iPhone 6 since updating to iOS 11.4.

The music stops for a second or so, and then starts stuttering.

I think it only happens when the screen is turned off.

It happens regardless of whether you listen through headphones or wireless or through the speaker.

Have tried to force close every app and then restart the phone, but as soon as the first song plays the issue was back.

This is very problematic for me. I listen to a TON of music all the time, and am currently invested in developing a Music app myself.
