Additional Context

BTW I know this is more a feature request than a bug, but it seems to be a relatively small fix, instead of a whole feature.

I can look at this, but can someone guide me as to where the code lives that handles playback of music?

@Dan-613 Sure! A lot of the audio playback is handled here https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-web/blob/master/src/plugins/htmlAudioPlayer/plugin.js. There's also the now playing bar, because it may be worth considering whether we should add it for casted media as well.
