There's been reports of stuttering when switching to Self Radio. Does everyone have this?

I do, basically makes the game unplayable when listening to that station. I tried putting the mp3 files on the same drive as the game (which is an SSD) as well as putting the mp3 files on a separate SATA drive with a shortcut placed in the game folder on the SSD, but neither seemed to improve the stuttering. The music is detected by the scan without any problems and sounds fine during gameplay, but framerate drops by 10-20 fps every few seconds. As soon as I switch to another station the stuttering goes away. I wonder if it has something to do with file size, bitrate, number of tracks, etc. Like maybe embedded cover art could be problematic?

Very annoying but I'm sure a workaround or patch will show up soon.

Yeah I just tried this and it definitely impacts FPS, from a rock solid 60 I'd drop to 40 very occasionally, sometimes as low as 30 for a second or two. Not going to use it anymore :(

I'm on a GTX 980 and I notice a 4-7fps drop when using self radio. It is definitely a thing.
