DJ mixes on Apple Music not playing correctly through HomePod.

I am having trouble playing Apple Music DJ mixes, they should be continuous but between each track it stops, sometimes for a second, sometimes longer. Is anyone else getting this. I've tried turning off AutoMix and Crossfade but it doesn't seem

to work, any other advice?

Try the same mix directly on your iPhone with AirPlay off, then ask Siri on the HomePod to play that mix directly. This helps separate gaps in the recording from a playback issue on the HomePod. If only the HomePod has gaps, restart it and check for a software update; include the mix name and track transitions when reporting it to Apple Support.
