Minim, Song starts in the middle?

Processing Coding Questions

Hey there,
I’m trying to make a simple music player with a selfdrawn animation in the background.
Animation and everything works fine, but the song keeps starting in the middle of it?
Is there a limit to the lenght of a song you can import?

While I’m at it, is there a way to stop the animation with a mouseclick or keypress?

Minim minim;
AudioPlayer player;

int numFrames = 41;
int currentFrame = 0;
PImage[] images = new PImage[numFrames];

  void setup() {
    size(1200,800);
    frameRate(9);

    for (int i = 0; i < numFrames; i++) {
      String imageName = "phone" + nf(i, 3) + ".png";
      images[i] = loadImage(imageName);
     }  
     
     minim = new Minim (this);
    // Audiodatei aus Data-Ordner laden
    player = minim.loadFile ("Underwater.mp3");
    // Audiodatei abspeilen
    player.loop ();

    player.shiftGain(-25.0, 25.0, 100000);
    player.setGain(-20.0);
    //player.setVolume(0.6);
  }


  void draw() {
    currentFrame = (currentFrame+1) % numFrames; // Use % to cycle through frames
    image(images[(currentFrame) % numFrames], 0, 0);
    
    textSize(26);
    text("Fallen Roses & Subsets", 10, 30);
    fill(0);
    text("Underwater (ft. Ayelle)", 400, 30);
    fill(0);
    
    float playPos = player.position ();
    float playLen = player.length ();
    float xpos = playPos / playLen * width;
    // Zeichnen eines Kreises auf relativer Postition
    // der Soundlänge gemappt auf die Fensterbreite
    ellipse (xpos, height / 2, 20, 20);

  }

  void mousePressed(){
    float pos = ((float) mouseX / width) * player.length();
    // setzt neue Abspielposition
    player.cue ((int) pos);
  }

thanks in advance!

Ok, I cant figure out how to delete this, but i dont need help anymore.
for some reason my mp4 file was faulty even though it worked just fine outside of processing
