Gramophone issues

I'm having some problems with the Gramophone in game.

Sometimes I clicky-click to play it and nothing happens (at least nothing in terms of me hearing any of my tunes start).

Sometimes this happens and I wait a while and try again, and then it plays, but after maybe two tracks it will freeze the game up at the start of the next track and I get the "encountered an error and needs to close" popup and have to shut everything down. The "BZZZZ" of the frozen sound of the game/Gram track continues until I reboot.

Sometimes I click on it for the first time and it plays, and continues to play through 4-5 tracks, and then stops, and won't play any more.

Sometimes the problems occur when I'm leaving base, or on the bridge during wild weather or with another ship nearby, so I thought it was maybe an overload of the system with too much happening at once. But not always.

The only thing I can think of that I have different now from the last time I remember playing the Gram for more than 5-6 tracks without any issues, is that I enabled the GWX 16k atmosphere mod. That doesn't seem to be causing me any other problems at all, but would having that enabled and then playing the Gram be just enough to overload my system so that I'm having these problems with the Gram now?

Or is there something I should be looking at with the files in the Gram folder that might be causing all the hangups? So far it doesn't seem to be any one particular track that is playing or next up when these things happen. I have noticed though that the tracks are not playing in order even though the files names are just numbers to make them do that. Some tracks just seem to get skipped over completely, and at least one of them I know never played at all. That stuff was happening even when I wasn't having other problems.

I really hope it's not the 16K mod + the Gram that's the problem, because I love having the 16k atmo. But I need some love from my gramophone too.
