Description
Similar to how Photos has the image viewer behavior, I think Music's behavior when opening a random audio file could be improved. Right now, Music opens the entire library UI and shows the file playing as a track, but it's not possible to find that track anywhere in the library that's being shown. Instead, Music could supply a simpler "preview" UI that only played the one file and didn't mess about with the library.
Alternatively, we could ship an Audio app that's just a previewer, if that would be a more sane separation.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating Music's handling of opening an audio file and compare it with the Photos behavior referenced in the issue. The issue presents two possible product directions, so completion criteria need to be agreed before implementation can begin.
