To be fair, by moving LMS from your XP host to PcP you have introduced a more significant change to your system than the upgrade of LMS. My assessment is that this is a network issue. OrangeSqueeze doesn't talk to your radio, it talks to LMS, if your Radio keeps playing that implies it's

Is the radio running from mains power or battery? Is using wireless to connect to the raspberry pi. If so do you use the default wireless on the pi or a usb dongle. If wireless, which channels are you using? Take the radio from the kitchen and connect to the router with cable, does it still
