Windows does a lot of caching so unless you have restarted Windows - once a DLL has been loaded it may still available even if deleted from the source directory as long as there is one instance of a process which has linked to it. This make Windows very confusing if you update DLLs as you need to

Actually syncing only works robust, when songs are played gapless. Otherwise a resync is needed on each song start. Are you playing mp3? In my experience the individual compression leads to very small audible glitches in gapless songs. I can only hear it via headphones though and when I listen
