If you experience this issue when streaming online, please check the internet connection on other mobile apps or on other devices (if available) in the same cellular or Wi-Fi connection - the internet speed should be between 10-20Mbps or faster. To make the connection work fine, please reestablish the connection after 30 seconds.

1.2 Switch to Online or Offline Mode

If the internet connection works fine in Amazon Music's online mode, please download the song from Amazon Music and try playing this song offline to see if the Amazon music skipping issue persists with the downloaded one. To first access the downloaded version of the song, go to Settings > Play downloads first.

While users in online mode can stop Amazon Music skipping with the rebuilt internet, some efforts are needed for users in offline mode to delete all Amazon Music downloads using a clear data function on the device or uninstalling the app.
