Problem
Icon-only controls in the music player (play, pause, next, previous, feedback, etc.) do not currently expose an accessible name to assistive technologies. Although a title attribute is present, it is not reliably used by screen readers as the button’s label, which makes these controls difficult or impossible to identify for users relying on accessibility tools.
Solution
PlaybackControlButton already receives a human-readable title for every control. This change reuses that value to set aria-label on the underlying , ensuring that all playback controls have a proper accessible name. The change is limited to a single shared component and does not affect visual appearance or behavior.
Action
No additional action is required. This change is safe to merge as-is.
