Anyone has a weird behavior as if the switchers for "Download in Dolby Atmos" and "Automatic Downloads" would be interconnected?
Got a tip for us?

Apple Music Dolby Atmos on iPad stopping after 15 seconds

The whole system is entirely broken at the moment, I noticed a pattern that entire band catalogs stop playing after 15 seconds.
Download in Dolby atmos and automatic downloads are separate. But yes I turned off downloads in Dolby atmos on my iphone, but turned it on my pad and the problems still persist. Everything is overriding and switching as the song plays.

Tell that to my settings app which prefers to randomly turn off and on both switchers and jump within the app interface
Me too. It’s only with Dolby Atmos. Tried sign out, restart (vol+- sleep) and sign back. It doesn’t work.
I've spoken to a Senior Supporter. He escalated the issue to the Apple Music engineering team - including full log from my device and a video with a proof of the issue. In my case, the problem happens not only to the Dolby Atmos songs, but since the problem is both highly individual and highly inconsistent (even for one user), I wouldn't try to find similarities.
Let's just hope they resolve it by the end of this week and the Apple Music gets back to the normal functioning mode.

It happens for me with both Atmos and Lossless tracks. I had the data saver enabled over Cellular for Music streaming and it still managed to eat thru 5GB of my data in just two weeks and all my songs are already downloaded.
Funny enough I never noticed the 15” issue while I had the cellular streaming enabled. I had to disable the data streaming after it put me over the limit and pretty much every track stops after 15”. So for some inexplicable reason all the tracks still stream regardless of their download status. Pretty much defeats the purpose of offline listening.

This sums it up for me. iPhone XS, iOS 15 beta 1. Always pauses offline, if I enable data for music the songs stream without a problem. Also had disabled download over cellular but for some reason my phone went ahead and downloaded 1GB of music over 4G... Apple music is terrible regarding cellular data use
Come back when everything plays fine in Airplane mode for more than a few hours. Then I’ll give it a try.
It’s everything in Apple Music, add this to list of Dolby, Lossless, Hi Res, even songs on High quality sound like have vinyl skipping or similar to playing music with a CD Player without skip protection while walking with it.
It happens on all devices so It must be a server issue on Apple and nothing software related.

Anyone else notice that Shazam is downloading songs twice? No, not on wrong page as I have the same problems as others here...weird in that it (DA/Spatial) worked for a whole day at the park and then this morning: NADA. Killed app; shut down phone, changed some music settings ....no such luck. But did notice that when I'v used Shazam the past few days that its been downloading each song twice to my playlist.
I just tried listening to songs under their spatial/atmos playlist under wifi, none of them worked, it sounds like it does but the icon doesn’t pop up, even songs that were lossless and hi res under wifi/cellular settings are currently not working. I’m so confused, one issue after another.
iPhone 12 pro/14.6 iPad Pro /14.6 also
Anyone else also have 'Shazam' double-loading tracks? When I use it (and its playlist is what isn't working for me) it adds two copies of each 'hit' to the playlist. Just wondering if this is part of the issue/bug.
Triple loading in some cases

Same issue on iPhone 12 pro.
Tracks I tried playing directly on iPhone speakers stopped at around 12-15 second mark.
I also had issue air playing from iPhone to my sonos arc, same issue stopped after 15 seconds and airplay reverted back to iPhone speakers.
What the heck is going on here, paying for a music subscription and I cant play music!

I had this yesterday, thought something was wrong with CarPlay, something is really screwed up in 14.6 or with apple music currently.
Somehow today went fine while streaming lossless tracks and using Apple Maps while driving on the 12 Pro. However my 12 this morning paused on most tracks after 15 seconds at home with the Home Pod mini, I ended up turning off Dolby Atmos. It's still a hit and miss.
I turned off atmos and Lossless and it was fine when I tried it last night, so its either both settings or one or the other you need to disable for a temporary solution I think.
