When pre-cueing a track i am missing the possibility to stop manually. I currently have to wait 10 seconds until it stops automatically.

i’d rather have the same implementaion as in rekordboks where user can click to stop the pre-cueing manually. If nothing is clicked the preciung should also continue, not sure why the 10s preview is considered usefull. Please let us control this.

Also I find there is a delay when jumping through the song, it’s not as responsive as rekordboks. Can you maybe cache the track so that prelistening is smoother?

Escape always stops the preview
