    The pi3 has more than enough grunt to easily run LMS and a player

    Where do you store your music, on an HD connected locally to the pi? on a NAS? What size/speed SD card are you using?

    Hard wired or wifi?

    Have you always had a 4 second gap between tracks? That would drive me mad!!!

    Do you have other squeezebox players in the system?

    Did you expand the SD card on your pi?

    ...more accurately 'Expand The FS' file system

    It's on the main page, under advance settings...it won't do any harm

    Presumably your NAS is wired? and has enough CPU/RAM to run LMS

    and finally that you're playing files stored on the NAS

    EDIT; Not finally...are you using the pi3's on board wifi, I'd advise not, I found it very flakey, get a 'plugable' USB one, and turn the pi one off in the wifi settings

    Going a bit further with this, have you tried a wired connection - the playback gap shouldn't happen.
    Wired gets the WiFi completely out of the way.

    Fair point Chris...

    It's bizarre that he doesn't get drop outs, only 4 (or 20) second gaps between tracks...

    That strikes me as being odd too.
