You didn't say in your first post whether the dropouts you experienced occurred when you were playing local files from the attached USB thumbdrive or when you were streaming audio from a remote source. I assumed it was with local files when I read it.
The first thing which comes to mind when I hear of a "dropout" is the momentary silencing which occurs when MPD experiences an underrun error. These errors get logged to the file /var/log/mpd/log. Off the top of my head, I don't recall if the MPD log level has to be pushed to "verbose" to see them. That setting can be found in the m> Config > Audio > MPD settings subpanel of the moOde webUI.
Mind you, the logs fill up from normal information and are cleared periodically so you may not easily catch unicorn events that way.

USB drive only. I have not tried any streaming including radio stations.
The MPD file was huge! It had all the DB regen in it! I did find where it was playing the album that the dropout occured on (didn't record which song), but no errors or warnings.
Latter on when I realized that the "*" was not performing random album selection, went into preferences and set from default to clear/play and saved. On the very next press of the "*", the album loaded but MPD crashed and msg popped up. A few addition presses of play, and more error msgs. Rebooted Pi, and worked every time after that. Those errors I did find in the MPD log. Unrelated to dropout issue.
