1) I skipped through tracks for about 2 minutes and the problem does NOT seem to occur when shuffle is disabled.
2) Yes. That was what I was referring to when I mentioned the meta data earlier. I actually wasn't sure if it showed the wrong song in the list view when you're browsing a category or playlist that the songs in. After shuffling for a while again it DOES seem to show the CORRECT song in list view, where the album art and limited meta data are at the bottom of the screen and there is only a play/pause and skip button. It also seems to show the now playing arrow over the correct song in the list but I didn't check that much because all my lists are huge. For me at least it seems that the pull down notification is COREECT even while the now playing screen is NOT. I took a screenshot, though this is only one instance. It possible the pull down is wrong sometimes too like Frankz said.
3) I didn't even realize that MMA had crossfaded, my "audio transitions" is set to gapless, which I believe is the default.
4) I have a mix of FLAC and mp3. When I click properties to check the file type it actually shows the correct meta data despite the now playing view remaining wrong. It seems to only happen when the actual song playing is a FLAC file, but 85% of my library is FLAC so I'm not 100% positive.
Also some additional notes. There usually seems to be a couple seconds of lag before the song starts playing when the bug occurs where it will sit a 0:00 (but not always), and sometimes the track bar will be moving as is the song started playing but I hear nothing. If I am really just flying through tracks this lag can become pretty bad and occasionally the song seems like it won't start and I just have to hit next (but again this is only if im rapidly switching tracks which is ver uncommon in normal use). Sometimes when the bug occurs the meta data in now playing will switch when I hit next, but the previous song will continue playing uninteruped unlike the usual where it does switch songs but shows the wrong metadata.
All of my library is on my external SD card so it almost seems like it's some desync issue caused by inconsistent access times that was perhaps due tp a change inteoduxed in Nougat or something like that because that update was somewhat recent for the S7 edge. It would make sense since I have mostly FLAC (though i remember reading that decoding them during playback isnt that much more CPU intensive) files but Frankz's library is all mp3. Though I figure it could still make sense because I'd imagine the now playing view is a bit more costly for Android to render which would explain why the other views seem to not experience this bug (for me at least).
Anyway sorry for the rambling, good luck and thanks again.
