Dedicated embedded audio player

Currently when we embed audio media in an external site, the full sized video player is displayed with a poster image to indicate that the media is audio only
We would like a dedicated, cut-down audio player when embedding audio media, that shows just the timeline and not a poster image
This would be similar to the single-song audio widgets for SoundCloud and Spotify

Audio tracks shouldn’t have to wear a video’s heavy coat,
Under a poster frame that hints at pictures which don’t exist.
Designed instead, a slim timeline with play, pause, and volume
Is all we need to keep pages clean and expectations clear.
Our students know it’s sound, not missing or broken video.
Please offer an embed mode for audio-only items,
Letting us choose a compact horizontal bar,
A lot like the single-track widgets on Spotify or SoundCloud,
Yielding less visual clutter and better accessibility,
Especially in LMS pages already packed with content -
Really, a dedicated audio player would make Echo360 sing. 🎧

It would be good if such a player also showed a link to the transcript for accessibility purposes too.

Jeremy O'Reilly or if we could have closed captions visible over the smaller player.
