I should try to simplify the player. See this post for inspiration: https://www.reddit.com/r/androidapps/comments/5jz88b/dev_soundwaves_podcast_player_free_and_open_source/dbm7xgw/?st=ix4yjjd3&sh=35de5513

Hello there, here's the new mock up.

I only removed the heart and changed the placement of the submenu button. I tried looking for different media controls buttons, but I didn't find anything that looks good. I'm free now, so if you find any other button you like, send it to me and I will create a mock-up with the provided buttons.

@HiddenBehindMask Thank you. I have started refactoring the Player. The first iteration should be in the beta release now

I think the new fast forward and rewind buttons look like "next" and "previous". To me they don't indication skipping forward a certain number of seconds. Maybe the buttons should say "+30s" and "-10s". That way the user knows exactly what they do.

Btw, I don't know how many seconds it currently moves, but I like the idea of going 30 seconds forward and 10 seconds back because you can quickly go forward and then fine tune, by going backwards a little bit.
