iPhone Music tracks go back to the beginning?

I've noticed a really annoying "feature" with the music player in iOS 11. If I am half way through listening to a track and then stop for a while (eg when I get to work) when I next plug in my headphones to start listening again, the track I was on has gone back to 0.

This may not sound like a big deal, but most of the music I listen to is live mixes, so if I'm 45 minutes through a mix, I obviously don't want to go back to the beginning a couple of hours later.

This definitely didn't happen in any previous iOS, even days later I could go back to Music and the track position would be remembered. Does anybody know if this is a deliberate addition, and if so can it be disabled?

I too have similar issues.

really annoying as 3 hour live set.
get 30 mins in then stop and when go back it back to beginning.

It seems to be getting worse, not only is it now forgetting where in the song it was, but which song was playing at all. This is after a few hours of not using the music app (but using other apps.) Does Apple really consider this acceptable behaviour for a $500+ music player? My 15 year old iRiver can do this.

Apple has abandoned their passion and love to music several years ago. Music app is a disaster, removes headphone jack, introduces Apple Music that has a bad library. This list can go on and on.
Btw, I see the same thing as well, although I am using Bluetooth headphone. Sometimes, even when the music is playing, it will stop on its own without me doing anything. Very annoying.
