AJT Browser Play Button
This tiny add-on adds a play button to the Anki Browser's toolbar.
When clicked, it looks for [sound:...]-tags on the selected note
and plays them in the order of their appearance on the note's fields.
If there is selected text, the action is limited to the sound tags
that appear only in the selected text.
If you select "Play field" in the context menu, the action is limited to the currently selected field.
Each field that contains audio has a play button next to its name. Pressing on the button plays all audio files in the field.
Audio can be directly played with a shortcut: alt + m.
