This is a separate problem, or evolution of a problem, from past posts. I have created a test library of AAC files to playback, to avoid bandwidth issues, and buffering issues. I am testing this on my phone’s hotspot, as that is the intended method of using this Pi. Playback works fine, bandwidth…

What is the following value currently set to? Settings -> Playback -> Audio Output -> Sample Rate Matching If set to anything other than Smart change it (to smart) and test again. Leave it set to cache only the next track for the time being. See if the gaps are eliminated (or reduced). For what…

I observed the track change not h…
