I've got it. Works great.

Try switching to the Waveform bar (Tools > Options > Layout > Player).
If it's not to your liking, it's relatively simple to modify the skin. See these steps I laid out for another user with the same problem: https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=98574&p=479238#p479238

In Skin: Material Design the progress bar is difficult to recognize in terms of color. Please, can the current color be changed so that it is more easily perceived. Possibly the width as well?
