The Discographies and Sound Archives now benefit from a refreshed audio interface. Listeners will notice a cleaner, more consistent design that adapts naturally to desktop and mobile views. The controls are neatly centred, the progress bar remains visible against any background, and the overall layout is less obtrusive, allowing the music to remain the focus. These improvements are part of our ongoing commitment to making the archive accessible, functional, and visually coherent for all visitors.
