I have this problem and it's not related to power saving which is off and hasn't been turned on at all on this phone. It's also the second S7 Edge I've had and others with the S7 Edge have the same problem. There's consistent behaviour - apps that stop music from playing always stop music from playing, it's not intermittent. Pokémon Go is the first app that I experienced it with (but interestingly not Ingress) and it's also happening with Futurama Game of Clones. It used to be when the game was loading that music playing would stop but recently it's started doing it when switching between apps. I have a suspicion it's only full screen (ie. covering the notification bar) apps that stop the music playing. Pokémon Go and Ingress both use the same game engine but Pokémon Go is full screen whereas Ingress isn't. Futurama is also full screen. Nothing else causes music to stop on my phone. I wonder if it might be something in a security update that prevents media from playing in the background if the notification bar is covered.
I have an S7 Edge and listen to Amazon music, have had this stopping issue for months now. I got around it by downloading the music I wanted and just listening to that.
Having read this thread, I looked and my power saving mode was off, always has been.
But I turned it on, the set it to come on at 15%.
Then turned off Restrict All Background Data.
Then, I turned power saving mode off again.
Have now been listening to streaming music for half an hour, no pausing. Don't know why it worked, but glad it did. Hope this helps.
