Problem you may be having, or feature you want:
Big hands, fiddley button, rain on screen, rushing to pause
Suggested solution:
Android 13 has an improved notification player controls for audio, this mainly includes moving the play button up and to the right separating it from forward and backtrack buttons, it's a small improvement with big quality of life improvement and antennaPod is my only app not to upgrade yet.

I can’t think of many improvements I really need with AP but this is now #2 in my top 2 wants. The only other real improvement I want is the ability to add single episodes to the queue for podcasts I don’t actually subscribe to.
Yea maybe move the play button off the bottom too as I have change my grip to reach it I’ve just checked all my other media apps and they got less used settings beneath play/pause
the notification thing is more annoying to me as I use it more and it breaks uniformity across my phone
I guess one reason you are not seeing much support for this request from other users is that they don’t need to bother with the playbar on the notification screen as they can more easily use the play control buttons on their Bluetooth headphones / earbuds / speaker instead so don’t even need to take the phone out of their pocket to use.
My current and many of my old headphones have play button jammed in with skip track button so I avoid the headphones controls all together, I also use remote speakers so my phone is next to me but the speaker is quite away, each to their own I guess
