Gaps in loop playback HomePod.

Since updating HomePod OS music looping now has hard gaps between continuous music. We play white noise for our baby and us to sleep for the last 6 months no issues in HomePod. Since updating to OS 16.2 (and 16.3 beta to see if this would fix the issue) it has hard gap of a second at the send of the white noise loop. I know Steve Jobs would be turning in his grave knowing this as I remember he said he wouldn’t release the first iPod until they fixed songs that were to continuously transition to the next song. Apple has slipped here with a basic bug. This needs to be fixed for the millions of users who would be experiencing this.
