Apple Music Issues with IOS 14.4-6

Since IOS 14.4 (or 14.5, I cant remember when), I've been having significant issues with Apple Music on IOS with my iPhone XS. Before things were great and everything worked normally. 14.4(5?) came out and introduced basically an list of issues with Apple Music, most noticeable in Car Play but also across Bluetooth connections. You would hit play on Radio or streamed music and nothing would happen. On CarPlay you'll see the spinning icon in the upper right like there is no signal, even when I have full signal. Sometimes a song would start playing, only to stop a few seconds later, and then repeat this process. What's weird is the progress bar shows the song is continuing to progress, you're just not hearing anything. Also when the song does come back it's where it should be in the song. Another issue is playing a Radio station for example, songs will take up to 1 minute to start playing, and then if you skip you have the same issue, and add in the other issues as well.


I've tried Spotify during these times with no issues at all, so I definitely don't think its signal related. Also during these times Map's and everything else functions correctly. I've also tested this on different CarPlay systems and its consistent across all so its definitely my phone. It has been consistent across every IOS version since it started. Unfortunately I cant remember exactly when it did start though.


Anyone else experiencing this? I'm about ready to just do a factory reset but I hate to do that unless I have to. Thanks.
