This is an unusual one that I haven't totally characterized just yet. When it happens, it takes 20 to 60 seconds before playback starts after pressing play. Here's how I'm certain it happens:
1. Select a playlists from Car Radio buttons. Playback begins.
2. Open a remote (I use EOS) and change the volume.
3. Playlist ends normally after all songs are over.
4. Wait a long time. At least one hour.
5. Select a song in the playlist from the Remote. Or press play, or stop, or pause on the Remote. Now playback will take a much longer than normal time to start.
I think this is probably remote (JRemote type remote) related. I just tried this whole thing, except in (5) I pressed play on the computer. It worked normally.
I've also experienced several crashes of MC when simply connecting from the remote software. This are infrequent, but I don't remember them EVER happening with MC21.
I know this one is odd. If there is anything I can try or questions I can answer, I'm all ears.
Thanks,
Brian.

Couldn't it just be that your drive has spun down after an hour so it needs to spin up again?

^ I don't think so. These files are on the internal drive. I used to do this same procedure with MC21 very often and never had a pause of longer than a couple of seconds. The long pauses only started happening with MC22. Maybe there's something else going on. Not sure. My MC22 is unlicensed (trial mode) but I don't think that should have anything to do with it.
