Apple Music start at doesn't work.

My Apple Music app is failing.

This thing happens with the option to start a song in an specific time (for it to start at 0:15, i.e.), when I choose to use it, and when I select the song it just starts in 0:00 (even when I tried to start it at 0:15), but when that song (the one that I want to start at 0:15) is played next to other (like play next or something) it start in the time that I want to.

It happens with every song that I want to start in an specific time.


I've already tried some solutions that gemini provide, such as restart, reboots, factory resets, iCloud unsynchronized, but none of them worked.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 26.1

Re: Apple Music start at doesn't work.


If needed: You can try restarting your Mac again (Apple Menu > Restart) wait for Mac to start up, and log-in again. (Deletes temporary files, may update recent setting changes, re-establishhes connectiions etc., and often restores order if something is not working as expected.


Quitting and re-opening the Music app can also help at times.


Seems you want the song to start playing 15 seconds into the song at 0:15 ...


As you know: You can set the start and stop times in Apple Music by: selecting the track > Get info > Options

You might also want to check "Remember Playback Position" and to also "save" the settings.
