Romain, that makes sense to me, but it's not as big a priority that the
track falls dead on the time, pushing other tracks out of the way to do so.
My main priority is making sure that every time I load a playlist, it
starts playing the track at the beginning of the playlist first. It
looks/feels like it's picking up in the middle of playlists at times, and I
suspect it's because I've got an incorrect reload setting or perhaps should
be using playlist.once instead of regular playlist, but I'm not sure I
fully understand the difference.
