Description
I would appreciate a simple way to play audio files of an entire folder.
Currently, you can click on an audio file and play it, but at the end the playback stops, even if there are some more audio files in the folder. Unfortunately, the "slide show" feature doesn't help here either, since it then only plays the songs for a short time and then jumps to the next one.
Unlike with pictures, I would expect the next song to play automatically here. You could still link this to the slide-show button, so that you can disable this behavior. For this case the slide-show-button should be activated automatically for audio files but not for images.
It would also be great to have a shuffle button. That would certainly be a good thing for photo slide shows as well.

Research direction
Start by tracing the existing audio playback and slideshow behavior in the viewer. Implement automatic playback through the folder's audio files, automatic slideshow activation for audio without changing the image behavior, and consider shuffle for both media types; done means the requested controls and playback transitions work consistently.
