I am running PiCore on a Pi 3B+ as a server in two locations, and built a 3rd for a friend. All have a HDD (WD 2TB Elements Portable External Hard Drive - USB 3.0 - WDBU6Y0020BBK) connected to the Pi and it works fine. ~$100USD for a server with 2TB of file space is a great bargain. I also use samba to use the Pi HDD as a backup to my PC files (pictures, important files, etc), so the ~$100 also includes a file backup system.
Regarding the OP comment on mp3 files, if I read it correctly, the mp3's play poorly on both the transporter and the PC, the FLAC's play fine? I would suspect the MP3 files themselves, how are they created?
