Synchronizing is not a perfect science. If the hardware is not identical, problems are worse..even if they are the same, clock rates of the two devices are never identical. This causes them to get out of sync. Take a look at the synchronize settings on the players tab in the LMS settings.

Yes, LastMix uses Last.fm only to get information about the mix. For the actual playback it would use whatever track was available (local, or remote services such as Spotify, TIDAL, Deezer, Napster). And yes, please try without the syncing. And please check what streaming format you're using

As an aside, I have just come to realise that DSTM with LastMix ticked actually streams from Spotty; I naively thought that it was streaming from LastFM, I realise now that it only pulls the mix down from there! So when I say I am having pauses in streaming from LastFM & Spotty I really mean

How many players do you have (even counting ones that are turned off) Are you sure you don't have another player sync'd. Also in the case of wifi, it is not just your activity, but a neighbor could be operating on the same wifi frequency..in which case you are sharing bandwidth.

Using pi3 with LMS 7.9.2 always updated. SBT is connected by wireless to internet modem. The connection is used by other devices and has no streaming issues. Highest rate FLAC files stream from my library over wifi to SBT with no problems. Usually if there is a buffering issue the screen reads
