The audio files are on a USB3 memory stick.

Did you change your buffer settings at all?  Also have you tested to see if the same issue happens with the files on the sd card?  Lastly, what kinds of files are they?

I had not done anything to buffer settings but I just went back and forth with the following setting:
tools : options: media network: disable audio buffer to disk (for low powered systems) --I didn't see any difference.

I also just tried to put one of the files on my SD card and I'm seeing the same issue.

Files are FLAC

To be clear by "buffer settings," I meant the settings under "device settings" or "prebuffering" in the options-->Audio dialog; even if you haven't changed them it might be worth raising or lowering them to see if there's a combination of buffer settings that does work.  Write down the default values first.

Do the files in question play fine on other players?  What is your output device?

Also, this is the MC21 for Pi thread, we should probably move this discussion over the to the MC24 for Pi thread (assuming you are running MC24).

OMG. should I be running 21 on the Pi (is it typically a better fit)? I will look for a similar thread on version 24.

The audio is over HDMI (through my tv) and then to an optical out that goes into a KECES (DA-131) DAC then to an Emotiva USP-1 preamp (with LP going to an M&K Sub) and an JLB UREI 6260 power amp...there are some speakers too. Tomorrow evening I will be getting my HiFiBerry Digi+ board and then I will probably go headless and cut out the HDMI stuff.

I have had success with these same files on an old iMac but I want a tiny footprint.

Thanks so much for your help so far. :)

No, 24 is probably the best place to start; there's a similar thread to this one over there.

Sorry, I meant do the files play well with other media players on the raspberry pi (i.e. can the pi play them if you open them in vlc or something).  If they don't play in other players on the pi that points to a different set of problems if you see what I mean.
