My Question or Issue
While streaming music, every 5-10 songs, the music will randomly stop playing during the first 5-15 seconds in the song, put the pause button is visible, indicating the music is still playing, but the progress bar is stationary. Upon pausing and pressing play, the progress bar stays stationary and no music plays. Upon skipping to the next song, no music plays and the bar stays at 0:00. Upon swiping back to the initial song, the progress bar stays at 0:00 and doesn't play any of it. However, when swiping to the previously played song, that one plays fine.
