Song not playing till end, music app jumps to next track while still in the middle of the song

macOS 15.3.2, Music app 1.5.2.56

Behavior: For some songs music plays to a certain point and then jumps to the next track. The issue is reproducible. When not playing the song from the beginning sometimes the song plays till the end as expected. This issue has been going on for a long time. Not sure why it is happening and persisting with recent versions of macOS + music.

Failed attempts to resolve this:

1. open metadata editor Metadatics and remove `Length` tag for music files to ensure to remove source of error. Remove and re-add files to music app, issue persisting.
2. as suggested in Music is advancing to the next song with … - Apple Community reset start and stop times via script: https://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/download.php?sc=mxresettracksstartstop issue persisting

Curiously, when playing the same song affected by the issue in music app in open source Cog music player the issue is not happening, which suggests it is not a problem with the music file(s) but a problem in the way music app behaves.

By now I have switched to Cog as my main music player for macOS. But would love to go back to music app, for that it needs to work reliable.
