terminating a track prematurely and starting the next. However, with

"Persistent ..." or "Cache ..." I have had no track skips for a long
while. LMS's streaming setting for my single player remains as default.
The improvement could be random chance not related to the above setting,
since track skipping was occasional. It could also be from a change at
the Qobuz end. However, so far, so good.
I did examine the network traffic profile of the Qobuz app on my iPhone.
It downloads a complete track at a time and caches it. The "Cache ..."
setting above emulates that but the "Persistent ..." setting still gets
the data in a greater number of smaller chunks. Maybe caching causes
less of a load at the Qobuz end with less chance of a stream failure,
but it does use LMS's uSD card more so perhaps a video-rated ("High
Endurance") card might be advisable (my cards are HE).
