Here's a fun one. Apple Music stops playing (lossless) tracks after 15 seconds.

You'll know it's going to happen before it happens as well, if the lossless icon doesn't appear within 1-2 seconds after playing a track.

I promise I'm not crazy, it's not just me. Just search for "15 seconds" in Apple Community: https://discussions.apple.com/search?q=15+seconds

I'm sure this is likely already fixed in the latest version of iOS and macOS, but I use Apple Music for Windows: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9pfhdd62mxs1

I switched from Spotify to Apple Music mainly for lossless audio. The Apple One Family subscription helped sell it. However, now I can't play non-downloaded tracks without waiting 5-30 minutes for the music to start playing.
