Bug Description

I don't know if it sometimes happens to you:

When I want to listen to an mp3 file I just double click on it and I leave the mouse pointer where it is. When the audio player pops up the mouse pointer is still on the file icon and this causes the audio preview to start while the audio player starts to play the song.
This is not a very clever behaviour because you don't really need the preview of the file you're listening to. It's really annoying when I want to listen to a song, I double click on it and then I go away from the computer and I have to come back 10 seconds later because of the terrible mess that comes out of the speakers.
