Description

Since Sf2 Player can now use .sf3 files, it seems a bit misleading for it's name to still be Sf2 Player instead of something like "Soundfont Player".

Research direction

No file or test is named. Search the repository for the visible label "Sf2 Player" and inspect each occurrence to determine whether the rename covers only the interface or related identifiers as well. Done means the player is consistently presented as "Soundfont Player" while existing .sf2 and .sf3 functionality remains unchanged.
