Bug: fixed the bugs for play button and implemented the stop button in the user uploads removed the unnecessary ui styles

Prashanth requested to merge bug_fix into main

Description

This MR improves the audio playback user experience in the User Uploads section by implementing dynamic Play/Stop button behavior. Previously, the audio playback worked correctly but the UI button always displayed Play, even while audio was playing, which caused confusion.

This change introduces proper playback state handling so the button now correctly reflects the current audio state.

Changes Made

Audio Playback UI Improvements

  • Implemented Play → Stop toggle behavior
  • Button now dynamically changes based on playback state
  • Added logic to prevent multiple simultaneous audio playback
  • Ensured UI state resets correctly when audio stops or completes

Behavior Improvements

Before:

  • Clicking Play started audio
  • Button still showed Play
  • Multiple clicks could cause UI inconsistency

After:

  • Clicking Play starts audio and changes button to Stop
  • Clicking Stop pauses audio and resets button to Play
  • Audio ending automatically resets button state
  • Playing another file stops the previous one

Type of Change

  • Bug Fix
  • Feature Improvement
  • Documentation
  • Refactoring

Testing

  • Tested on desktop
  • Tested on mobile
  • Manual UI testing completed
