I don&amp;#x27;t know if it&amp;#x27;s my music player, Clementine, but a good portion of the tracks I listened to in TLMC didn&amp;#x27;t advance correctly and instead just kept playing with the metadata of the first song in the album that I listen to. At this point I&amp;#x27;ve mostly just given up on it... It took me 3 months to download it too, haha (curse you, Comcast 1TB monthly data limit!)</text></comment>
