BUG - Unrequested seek when setting file rating
« on: October 14, 2026, 05:25:41 PM »
For some albums (or possibly only some songs), when I set the rating for any song (even if not the one being played), the song being played will skip.  This also happens when a song finishes and the playlist advances to the next song.  Sometimes it is just a few seconds, other times it skips to the middle of the song.

I can't be certain that it is restricted to certain file types, but I've noticed it for M4A files (AAC) and I don't recall it happening to FLAC files.  Most of my M4A files were ripped using various versions of WinAmp.

I made a video (unlisted) showing when this happens for rating changes: https://youtu.be/ROJCVDkimzo  OBS couldn't capture the right-click menu, but you can see the file rating change in the video and can both hear and see (in the progress bar) the skip.

I am a SDET, and would be happy to run WACUP in Visual Studio with a custom breakpoint to get a call stack.

I forgot to mention the media library selection changes.  But that is less annoying to me.
