Summary0016685: Slow switching to next song during playback
DescriptionThe switch from Antisocial to Move Your Mind and then to Dead Friend (all regular playback) was really slow. I'm not sure what MediaMonkey is waiting for to start playing the next File after a File finishes playback.

The main reason is, that the affected FLAC files had ID3 tag, we implemented autofix in #16436, so the file is fixed at first and than playback starts. Some delay is expected in this case, but should be only once for every affected file.
But it seems, this fixing is also slowing down by huge handling around Playlists and subsequent refreshes, we will analyze it more.

Resolving, it was combination of more things, the main problem should be already fixed in 2255 (leaked lists that were causing bunch of unnecessary list updates), this was in combination with complicated auto playlists, auto-dj, and autofix of FLAC, and everything together was causing this long delay. Please retest in the last version, also without auto-dj, thanks. Note, that some delay for FLAC which needs autofix is expected, as it must rewrite whole FLAC to the disc again.

lowlander: it is still the same. Combination of autofixing FLAC (rewriting large FLAC is quite slow), autoDJ and your extremely complex autoplaylists, where updates consume a lot of resources. Do you reproduce it with FLAC without ID3 and without these autoplaylists? I cannot do much with this... as I wrote before, you should fix your FLAC files first by removing ID3 tags.

Testing with FLAC without ID3 no problems occurred. Resolution is for user to remove ID3 tags (context menu, Edit Tags > Remove ID3v1 & v2 Tags).
