I think it would be absolutely amazing if there was an audio player sitting in the sidebar with custom playlists, the ability to not lose your place when you return back to a podcast, and the ability to listen while the phone is in your pocket.
We have a financial community with so much video content. We were using spotify for the audio but at the end of the day, it sucks. You lose your spot when you shut it down, it crashes. It's not a serious feature that works well with Discourse. Would love a native player.
