[Bug]: Client crashes with large book with multiple files

[ljlongwing]

What was the Problem?

I was recently experiencing #1318, and decided that the app might work better with chapter size files instead of one big monolithic file....the book is 20 hours long with 70 chapters, a little over 1.8 gig in size....I split the book into chapters, so I now have 70 files covering the same amount of time. I thought the many smaller files would fix the issues I was having, and it seemed to, but it caused another more troublesome problem. My client started crashing when it was approaching a chapter change. The phone would noticeably slow down, the audio would start to jitter...and then end completely. I would then need to re-launch the program, hit play again, and leave the program in the foreground till it was able to transition to the new chapter, then I could go back to my other apps while listening, till it needed to chapter again.

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

I can provide the book with all files to show the issue if needed

What was Expected?

I wouldn't expect to need to 'babysit' the app during chapter changes.

No, this bug is about playback during book that is multiple files, that defect is about crashing while downloading a large file.
