Anyone else annoyed by the song looping?

In case you aren’t aware, this game artificially extends the length of songs by looping the middle part of them many times (eg. from the second verse to the bridge). I really don’t like this because it ruins the intended flow of the songs and makes songs I would otherwise enjoy get grating with repetition. I know the license holders would’ve given permission to alter songs like this, but that doesn’t mean it’s a good idea.

FH3 also did this but as far as I’m aware it was only during races so it was only ever particularly noticeable during long races (or in a couple songs that didn’t loop very seamlessly). FH4 however, does it in free roam as well so I have to put up with it while I’m looking for a barn find, retrying a PR stunt to get 3 stars, etc. I really like the Horizon soundtracks overall, but it always seems like there’s annoying things with the way they’re implemented, and I’m finding this especially bad. (Side note on that subject: why do the songs pop up on screen when the DJ starts talking instead of waiting until they actually start playing?)

Yeah it’s annoying. Yesterday I listened to Award Tour from A Tribe Called Quest for like 20 minutes while I was looking for a barn find. It just kept looping.
I think it’s a bug though. Because sometimes even the DJ intermission plays 2 or 3 times in a row while in freeroam.

Haven’t noticed. The music is mostly just added noise that I occasionally remember to shut off (which seems to only temporarily work).
