Background music delayed when looping

I’ve been using SoundEffect for playing music and it works okay, but there’s a problem: the generated content files are enormous! My android apk ends up being huge.

I will have to switch back to using Songs and just have a three or four loops baked in and live with the gap.

e: Also considering using this for music instead of monogame: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Xam.Plugin.SimpleAudioPlayer/
