Play: Create more intuitive design

[David Sutton]

The play UI is currently not clear and intuitive for users, there have been a few suggestions for ways this could be improved.

• There should be an indication of a loading event so the user is aware that their action was acknowledged
• The bitrate, channels, and sample rate should be hidden by default
• The filters should not be forced to be used (this includes “none”)

A proposed design could look like:

This design also hides the audio URL from the user, instead being hidden under the upload dropdown.

The proposed design looks fantastic! Bring it on!

For long audio clips, we probably need a way to scroll horizontally to jump back and forth in time. That can be done later, though.
