Music progress slider (scale widget) bounces around before zeroing when next song is played

while similar, but different to #709386, this bug presents when changing songs either by pressing the "Next" button, or letting the next song in the queue play naturally. When the next song is played, the progress slider (scale widget) typically bounces either forwards or backwards on the scale before zeroing out, and playing the next song. (see attached screencast for a demo of the behaviour) From what i can gather, this is occurring because the scale of the scale is being set to the next song to be played, while the value presented is still the point in the previously playing song. The attached patch proposes that the value of the progressScale be reset to zero as soon as any song is loaded. This should catch both cases of clicking next and letting the next song play from the queue.
