It is a proposition to add a new feature to the IPED project.
The feature allows users to quickly visualize audio metadata and also hear the audio to verify the accuracy of the transcriptions. User can just select audio artifact and press space bar to play audio.

Maybe the embedded VLC player can be used also for other media files (video) fast visualization or replace mplayer.

It uses project https://github.com/caprica/vlcj provided under the GPL, version 3 or later.
And also uses portable VLC binaries from https://www.videolan.org/vlc/
I guess vlc binaries can be striped to just the main DLL (libvlc.dll and libvlccore.dll) and plugins dir, and be saved into gitlab repository as other used iped-tools (changes in iped-app pom file).

This feature will be useful for forensic investigators and digital forensics experts who need to quickly access audio files during analysis phase.

Thank you very much @kraftdenker for this contribution!

Unfortunately, we can't link to GPL dependencies until #523 is resolved...
