Thanks for replying. I did some more investigating last night and this morning. Firstly, a track that stops after 31 seconds will do it at the same point if I go back and play it again. However, if I play the track on my tablet, using Squeezeplay (Jive) to simulate an SBT, and therefore still using LMS, the track plays fine. This got me thinking. The tracks that stop have only ever been ALAC files, not FLAC. (Not sure why a Spotify file seemed to have done it once, can't replicate that) Looking at various forum posts, the SBT allegedly decodes ALAC badly, whilst my tablet presumably doesn't have a problem with ALAC. So I checked the configuration of LMS, and found that I had ALAC and FLAC both set to Native streams , which presumably means the decoding would be done locally in the SBT. I have changed the File Types configuration such that the ALAC files stream is disabled, and therefore presumably LMS goes to the next in the menu which is to stream ALAC as FLAC using faad/sox. Spotty streams are set to stream as FLAC using spotty.exe/flac There's a lot of 'presumably' here as I'm not totally sure how LMS works! Next step is to try again with a long playlist of both ALAC and FLAC files and see if it still occasionally stops at 31 seconds. Thanks for everyone's interest. If it fails again I'll be back, if not, I'll update the thread in a day or two.
