Songs glitching

[ShannonRosealie]

Hey guys.

Ive recently been having this issue where whenever im listening to music the songs are constantly glitching out for a second then continues to play. It happens constantly and i have no idea why or how to stop it. 

Any ideas??

Yeah same is happening here since new update

Same problem here..

I discovered that if I turn off Wi-Fi it doesn't glitch as much as when Wi-Fi is on. It doesn't make sense since the phone then is connected via LTE instead and no batterysaving options are turned on for any app or internet/data usage

I had the same issue here, too. It would be fixed soon so I would wait it out.

This may be linked to these cases.

There have been a lot of different cases created with this same sort of issue, with the app and the web player.

In some cases its because the downloading of the vidoe ads or ads with broken links for ad banners are causing disruptions to the stream for the music. This is what has been causing my glitching.

After profiling the website and digging in with google developer tools it looks like the biggest problems are the errors associated with retrieving and trying to load bad ads. With in one case the web browser throwing over 2000 errors in 30 seconds.

In some it's bandwidth problems, or needing to restart the hardware because of memory cacheing issues.

Okay, I've been testing and this what I got:

1. Play downloaded song w/ airplane mode: NOT EFFECTIVE
2. Play downloaded song w/ 4G: NOT EFFECTIVE
3. Play downloaded song w/ WiFi: NOT EFFECTIVE
4. Play non-downloaded song w/WiFi: EFFECTIVE
5. Play non-downloaded song w/ 4G: EFFECTIVE

The song glitch appears when I'm playing a downloaded song, in any circumstances.
