Now when users upload an audio file, they see the ImportDialog with options:
**User Flow:**
1. User selects audio file (click or drag-drop)
2. File is pre-decoded to extract metadata (sample rate, channels)
3. ImportDialog shows with file info and import options:
- Convert to Mono (if stereo/multi-channel)
- Resample Audio (44.1kHz - 192kHz)
- Normalize on Import
4. User clicks Import (or Cancel)
5. File is imported with selected transformations applied
6. Track name auto-updates to filename
**Track.tsx Changes:**
- Added import dialog state (showImportDialog, pendingFile, fileMetadata)
- Updated handleFileChange to show dialog instead of direct import
- Added handleImport to process file with user-selected options
- Added handleImportCancel to dismiss dialog
- Renders ImportDialog when showImportDialog is true
- Logs imported audio metadata to console
Now users can see and control all import transformations!
