Summary	08196: All: VGM Player will not load a new VGZ file correctly
Description	If you load a VGM set in VGM player, then try loading another one without stopping emulation, the load will fail and it'll begin playing the old file again. In reality, it doesn't load the new VGM set, it keeps the old one loaded.
Steps To Reproduce	1: Load VGM Player from the MAME GUI. 2: Select any VGM set, then any song. The song starts normally. 3: Hit Tab, choose "Select New Machine", select VGM Player again. 4: Load any other VGM set, then choose any song. 5: MAME plays back the VGM track that was previously loaded instead of the one you just selected.
Additional Information	If you hit Tab, then File Manager, then select the quickload to choose another track, you'll see that the first VGM set you selected is still loaded. The only way to properly load another VGM set is to hit Esc and press Gamepad A or Enter to go back to the machine selection menu. If you load another system (any random one) the new game is loaded as expected.
