slow to open mp3

Hello people. I have the problem when double clicking on an mp3 song from my music library on my mac it takes a long time to play or sometimes it jumps to another song. I already did library consolidation but I can't solve this.

Mac mini, macOS 10.15

the double click is inside the application the file is already inside my library.

DJ M,

OK, it should be more for less instantaneous. A couple of things to check:

  1. See if something else on the computer is using competing resources (look at Activity Monitor)
  2. If the files you are using are on an external, try a few files on the local drive
  3. Try out another player on your machine, such as VLC, and see if it behaves better.
