You can also select a plainer version of the audio player by toggling the Simple player button in your settings. Click on your account icon in the top left corner and select ‘Preferences’ 

Next, check the ‘Simple player’ box under the ‘Player’ heading, then click "Update" in the bottom right.

Here is an explanation of the Simple Player and its controls:

Playback controls

Skip back a track · Go back 30 seconds · Play/Pause · Go forward 30 seconds · Skip forward a track

Progress bar

Shows your current position within the track. You can drag the bar to jump to any point in the track.

Track indicator

Displays your current track number (e.g. "Track 2 of 14"). Click on it to open the track list, where you can see all tracks and jump directly to any one.

Volume

Use the volume slider to increase or decrease the audio level.

Sleep timer

Click the Timer button (clock icon) to set a sleep timer. You can choose from preset durations, 5, 10, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 or 120 minutes, or select "End of track" to stop at the end of the current track. When a timer is active, a countdown is shown. Click the button again and select "Turn off" to cancel it.

Playback speed

Click the Speed button (rabbit/turtle icon) to change how fast the audio plays. You can choose from 0.5× up to 3.0× in steps. The button shows your current speed. To return to normal speed, select 1.0×.

If you'd prefer the standard player, you can switch back at any time by unchecking the 'Simple player' box in your Preferences.
