MediaPlayer Reset takes long time

Question

My app is streaming music using Service and MediaPlayer, but i have a problem when trying to reset the mediaplayer to play next track. resetting mediaplayer takes long time and causes UI to freeze for a while when press next quickly multiple times although I call it in another thread.

Here is my snippet of code which i use to play track from my list

private void playTrack(int position) {
    if (!isAudioFocusAvailable())
        return;
    try {
        sendBufferingStarted();
        // Problem is here
        mPlayer.reset();
        mPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
        mPlayer.setDataSource(mTracks.get(mCurrentPosition).getUrl());
        mIsBuffering = true;
        mPlayer.prepareAsync();
        mIsPaused = false;
        acquireWifiWakeLock();
    } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IllegalStateException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
    }

}

Any suggestions to avoid resetting and UI freeze problems

        mPlayer.start();
        isPlaying = true;

    }

    mPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(new OnCompletionListener() {

        public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mPlayer) {
            mPlayer.release();
            isPlaying = false;
        }

    });
}
