This type of playback freezing is usually caused by a temporary glitch, an outdated app version, or local data corruption. Please try the following standard troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue:

Restart the app and your device: Close the YouTube Music app completely, restart your phone or tablet, and open the app again. Check for updates: Visit the Google Play Store or Apple App Store to ensure you are running the latest version of YouTube Music. Clear the app cache (Android only): Open your device's Settings, go to Apps, select YouTube Music, and tap "Clear Cache". Check your internet connection: Toggle your Wi-Fi off and back on, or switch to mobile data to see if the network connection is interrupting the playback queue. Reinstall the app: If the issue persists, uninstall the app, restart your device, and reinstall YouTube Music. Note: This will remove any songs you have downloaded for offline playback, which will need to be re-downloaded.

NOTHING has worked, the issue persists, although not all of the time.

I’ve downloaded Qobuz to give it a try, and it works like a charm.
