Android: Songs Cutting Off Before Song Ends

[MetalGuitarGuy]

Is anybody else recently having songs cut-off about 10 seconds before they end? This seems to be a recent issue, last few days or so, but it is consistently happening every few songs or so.

This is happening in my android phone app.  It does not happen when I stream from my computer.  I have tried the trouble shooting recommended here and it has not worked.  Please help.

I'm having the same issue. On my android phone, Amazon Firesticks, and my pc. I have a playlist, and whether it's in shuffle or regular play, many songs terminate early and the next one starts. VERY annoying. My previous experience music app never did this.

I've discovered that this happens only during shuffle play. If I play my playlist in sequence, no cut off. However, I prefer to shuffle my songs.

Is there a fix for this? Never had this problem with Spotify.

Yes has been on going and 2024 with add it has gotten worse. Songs just cut off and sometimes have to restart app. Even happens in offline mode with no ads. Pandora is no longer the leader in media. Switching to something more reliable.
