Rotary encoder strange behaviour

Question

I have problem with results (on serial monitor) of rotary encoder.

I am using Arduino UNO and RotaryEncoder library. When I am running example code serial monitor show proper values when rotating with any speed. I want to use encoder to change volume in Df-player. Problem starts when I want to use this code together with more complicated one - Mp3 player. It actually works only when I am rotating encoder very very slowly

Any ideas what is wrong?
