I haven't received much response to this issue, but I do have an update and I'm hoping someone can comment on what the heck is going on.
I continued to try various ways of troubleshooting and isolating my problem. This includes reformatting the drive and changing the format to a couple of differing types (Ext4, exFat , Fat 32, NTFS, etc.) . Of these, the only one that would not allowed me to play my music files was the Ext4 format. The music continually breaks up as I mentioned above. The exFat, Fat32, & NTFS would not allow me privileges so that I can edit the files (rename/delete/add, etc.). I tried various 3rd party applications for either taking ownership of the drive but nothing worked (not allowed). I also tried a 4TB external HDD to ensure that I wasn't having drive issues. I ended with the same results. What I finally did was say "the hell with it", reformatted my drive to NTFS, and reloaded the music. I can now play my music without it breaking up. I just can't SSH into the drive to add or modify the files. I'll have to pull it to my PC for that. Oh well....
If there any comments or questions (other than am I an idiot) I will be happy to respond. It has to be something in the setup, but I just can't figure out what. One day it's working and then it's not. All my software is up to date. Including the extra software downloaded for using NTFS or allowing me to take control of the drive when it was formatted to Ext4.
