Music Pauses then continues in ARM

[fester225]

When running the pre-packaged Music program in ARM (Big Sur), it intermittently stops for less than a second, then restarts.

I am new to Mac, let alone ARM. I spent the last 20 years running Linux. In my Linux days, I would have found the Music program and upped the priority.

Is this a priority problem? How do I get the 'pausing' to stop?

If you are using a Bluetooth device while playing music, this is a known issue that is reportedly fixed in the soon to be released Big Sur 11.2.

Local content.

Local content.

Can you share the content for issue replication? It'll be deleted after testing. Running Big Sur 11.0.1 or 11.1?

Big Sur 11.1
Pick any .mp3 file from Amazon. (The problem is not file dependent.)

Big Sur 11.1
Pick any .mp3 file from Amazon. (The problem is not file dependent.)

Not seeing the issue on clean install of 11.1 with Amazon downloaded MP3 (bought BTS Save Me to test), other MP3s, AAC, FLAC, ALAC, WAV or AIFF local content with Music app.

Worst case try clean install of 11.1 since that has cleared up some quirks with upgrading from 11.0.1 to 11.1.

Please recall I got my Mini ARM new just over a month ago. There haven't been any upgrades.
