Thanks for your prompt and detailed reply.
First, I decided to double-check and find I was NOT running the most
recent firmware - I was still running 7.5.3, have now updated to 7.5.4.
I always install updates when notified, but apparently had to go
looking for this one! The buffering of cover photo would definitely
make a difference.
Synology is notoriously slow porting new releases, so 7.5.4 is not yet
available. I'll install 7.5.4 once it becomes available.
I have not been so systematic as to play the same song every morning
but I can try that for several days, first with the Touch remote then
with Squeezepad as you suggested. Given that the cover art first comes
first, I wonder whether the recent change to my server config to resize
artwork might have a beneficial effect on this issue? Coupled with the
firmware improvements maybe this problem just goes away.
Thanks again,
Roger
