When you have nothing to do, your favorite songs have your back. You can put yourself into or pull yourself out of any mood with the right songs. Hence, a music streaming service has a very important duty of fulfilling all the musical needs of its users. But things don’t always go as we plan them. Some Apple Music users have come across a problem where the downloaded songs on their iPhone or iPad do not work. If you have the same problem, here is a list that can help you out. Take a look!
Fixes for Apple music not playing downloaded songs on iPhone & iPad:
1) Add the songs again:
The downloaded songs from Apple Music only work for 30 days. So it is quite possible that the downloaded songs you are trying to play are already past their validity. Remove the downloaded songs from your Apple Music account. Now download the songs again on a strong internet connection. This time when you try to play the songs, they should work perfectly.
2) Check the validity of your subscription:
Check if your subscription to Apple Music has expired. Users without a subscription to Apple Music cannot download songs to their devices. This can prevent the downloaded songs on Apple Music from playing on your iPhone or iPad. If your subscription has expired, buying it again should fix the problem.
3) Clear cache files:
Open the settings app on your iPhone or iPad. Now, go to General > Storage > Apple Music > Offload app. Now open Apple Music and check if you are able to play the downloaded songs on your iPhone or iPad. If not, the next troubleshooting step should be able to fix your problem.
4) Reinstall the app:
If clearing the cache files does not fix the problem, uninstall the app from your device. After uninstalling Apple Music, go to the App Store on your iPhone or iPad and install it again. Sign into your account. It is possible that your downloaded songs list is not visible anymore, since all the data with the app was wiped away. In that case, download the songs again. Following this step, there shouldn’t be any problems with the downloaded songs on Apple Music on your iPhone or iPad.
5) Update device:
Check your iPhone or iPad for updates. In case there is an update lined up, install it. After the update is installed and ready to go, open Apple Music. Your downloaded songs will be up and ready to be played.
