Fixed in build 3521. Added "Preview" column to tracklists. It displays waveforms (shares waveforms used for player). If you want to preview track, you can press mini play button next to waveform on focused line or click inside waveform. It is active only for focused line, similar way like rating, to avoid unwanted playing during simple line selection by click. Options - Player contains section for Preview, where you can set output device and volume of this Preview player, as it is separated from classic Player and has its own settings. Bookmarks are not handled in this section, it would interfere with the main player, I think it is not needed. Also we display CUE as separated tracks, not as one file.

Verified 3521

Functionality verified.

I would rename "Preview" -> "Preview wavebar" or just "Wavebar" and move it to Properties as it is not metadata

RecordBox also uses "Preview", as it is preview of audio data with possibility to play/preview audio. Btw. in player we call it "Waveform bar".

Right now it's mainly just a 'Waveform' as it doesn't yet function as a 'Preview' might with a separate audio output.
But if the goal is to add that in the future in the future, it makes sense to just leave it as Preview.

@rusty: what does not function yet? Just select line with visible preview and you can play any part of it separately by play button next to waveform, even seek works there.
