Rhythmbox and gaps between tracks

There may be other more appropriate forums for this discussion, but since I have used Rhythmbox on Mint for many years, I thought I'd start here.

Re: [SOLVED]Hardware refresh rate spec differs from actual in xrandr

Thanks, I've marked the issue as SOLVED. Now I ned to search for solutions to upgrading BIOS, I've started a thread in the Lenovo community forums, but generally I think there may be an issue preventing me from upgrading in legacy mode, rather than UEFI mode.
