Separate narration and background music choices

The comparison consolidates voice and edition into one pill and music into another. The article places repeat and sleep timer within an Options screen.

Design takeaway

Keep frequent playback decisions close to the player. Move secondary controls into a discoverable area that still communicates active settings.
