@TomFreeloader. I don't believe the retroarch issues are related to the kodi issues (there is virtually no code in common), so focus on the kodi issues on this forum.
Can you confirm exactly where the mp3 files are played from? An air port extreme using smb protocol?
Is the Pi connected through wifi or ethernet? If ethernet is it directly connected to the air port extreme or through additional routers/switches?
Can you try sharing an mp3 from another machine on your network (you talk about a number of VMs you've tried - what is the host platform?)
The audio player in kodi doesn't buffer data like the video player does, so a slightly inconsistent network may result in audio dropouts (even if video plays well).
Try adding "buffermode=1" to advancedsettings. HOW-TO:Modify_the_video_cache (wiki)
