I created a playlist in Volumio with files located on my NAS.
The playlist is around 2000 tracks so not incredible big.
When a song is playing and i press next, the next song starts in 1 second.
When i go and click the same song but in the playlist, it can take around a 20 seconds before it starts.
So
its playing song 1 and i press song 2 and it takes a minute or so.
Its playing song 1 and i press next for song 2 it takes one second.
Any help would be apreciated

My understanding is that, when you select a song from a playlist for playback, each and every song in the playlist gets added to the queue before playback of the selected song actually starts. 2000 songs in the playlist means 2000 ‘add to queue’ operations.
When you click ‘Next’, Volumio simply fetches the next song in the queue. There is only one operation involved. Same when you select a song from the queue.
So im in the playlist and when i press next, the song starts without a problem, but if i select a song in the same playlist it takes 20 seconds or more.
You see me press next a couple of times and its starts the next song without any delay.
0:20 i press play song instead of next (from the same playlist thats already loaded)
1:10 i press play song instead of next (from the same playlist thats already loaded)
If what you are saying is correct, then i gues ill have 2 live with it
A playlist is different from the queue. When you click an item in a playlist, all items in the playlist get copied over to the queue (hence the delay with a long playlist - there is actually more things involved than just copying). The queue is where playback occurs and the playlist is no longer involved. When you click Next, Volumio simply plays the next song in the queue (hence the fast response).
The problem does not occure with a cabled connection.
It also does not occure with WIFI if the playlist has been loaded for hours.
Then i can click any song in the list without any delay
