Feature: Inline audio player for plan items in B1 App #960

Description

@mbyrdLCS

Feature request

B1 App has no audio playback UI for MP3 files attached to service plan items. Churches that upload click tracks, song previews, or rehearsal recordings currently have no way to play them in-app.

Current behavior

MP3 files attached to plan items as links fall through to the device's generic browser/handler. There is no inline player — no play button, no scrub bar, no pause. Volunteers have to leave the app to hear audio.

Expected behavior

Tapping an audio file on a plan item opens an inline player within B1 App:

  • Play / pause
  • Scrub bar with time display
  • Works for click tracks, song previews, and any attached MP3

Why this matters

Click tracks are a standard part of worship team planning. Leading ChMS platforms have inline audio playback and churches expect this as a standard feature. Without it, worship teams cannot fully evaluate B1 Services.

A church migrating to B1 (July 2026) uploads MP3 click tracks to every plan. Their worship team specifically needs in-app playback before they can fully evaluate B1 Services.

Dependency

This feature requires the audio upload UI to be built first — see issue #961. Audio must be uploadable through the B1 interface before in-app playback is meaningful.
