If you’re experiencing a constant "skipping loop" where tracks (especially from major artists) won't play and just jump to the next song, the issue is likely Widevine DRM.

Widevine is a standard security component that allows browsers to play encrypted media. Major labels require this "handshake" to be active to verify and play their content; if it’s disabled, the browser can't decode the audio file and skips it.

How to Fix it:

  • Brave: Go to brave://settings/extensions and toggle Widevine to ON.
  • Chrome: Go to chrome://components and click Check for update under Widevine.
  • Firefox: Go to Settings, search for DRM, and check the box for Play DRM-controlled content.

Note: You'll need to relaunch your browser after changing these settings for the fix to kick in.
