Apple Music Not Working For Some Users [Update: Fixed]

On Mac, some tracks are providing an error message about the song being unavailable, and the ‌Apple Music‌ app is continually skipping through playlists trying to find a functional song. On iPhone, tapping play or selecting a song simply does not work.

According to Apple's system status page, ‌Apple Music‌ and the iTunes Store are both down. Apple says that users may be experiencing "intermittent issues" with the services.

Update: Apple says that the issue has been fixed as of 1:47 p.m. Eastern Time.

Streaming is down? I've never been so glad to have bought Rick Astley songs on iTunes and kept them in my phone storage.

That's something that's never gonna let me down, indeed. :cool:
