One problem that confused me was the alleged difference between "Play" and "Stream". Maybe I just don't do enough MP3 (I do none :-) to appreciate the difference. So I opted as the French did to translate them as the same.

(And yes, the bitrate/samplerate difference was a bit confusing for Finnish, too. I can translate "rate" as "taajuus" which also means "frequency", and "sample" as "näyte", but at "bit" I must resort to "bitti" which is just a loanword with a very transparent derivation.)
