FIXED 7 changes

- ✓
    
    Large crates now start at your playhead instead of dropping you into the middle of the list.
    
- ✓
    
    Jumping to a track further down a playing crate plays straight away instead of killing playback until you leave and resume.
    
- ✓
    
    After a big skip, the tracklist re-centers on the playhead instead of leaving it off-screen.
    
- ✓
    
    A crate set not to affect recommendations no longer feeds its plays into your Apple Music listening history.
    
- ✓
    
    Leaving a crate unloads it cleanly instead of freezing the transport on the last track's frame.
    
- ✓
    
    Track rows no longer light up under your cursor on a window that isn't focused.
    
- ✓
    
    Not-yet-started crates match the height of in-progress ones, so the browse grid stops jumping.
