gollark: It might be accidentally seeking back to the start of the track somehow.

gollark: For this sort of thing, where metadata might be edited, you would have to preallocate a bunch of space at the start for the metadata block, but that should work fine.

gollark: It needs a JSON library, though.

gollark: I'll... look at it or something. Have you considered using XTMF for metadata? It's supported by various different read/write systems. There's a sort of spec here: https://pastebin.com/SPyr8jrh

gollark: So it sounds like they're being written wrong in some way.
