Improve Audio Playback for Files Attached in Fields
Robbie Ehrbar
When playing an audio file that’s attached in a custom field, the player takes over the entire task window instead of opening in a small, non-blocking player. This interrupts the workflow because you can’t easily continue viewing or interacting with the task while listening.
The player also doesn’t display the name of the audio file that’s currently playing, which makes it difficult to identify the recording, especially when there are multiple audio files attached.
For what it's worth, audio files attached in task comments already provide a much better experience.
Suggested improvements:
* Don’t replace the entire task view when playing an audio file.
* Make the current window smaller (pop up?) or some sort of resize option/button.
* Display the audio file name while it’s playing.
* Allow users to continue viewing and working in the task while listening.
I’ve attached a screenshot showing how the current player takes over the entire task window.
