Some suggestions:

• You could put "(played)" in very small font the the lower left corner added when the file has been finished, or an asterisk that goes away once the file has completed (or reaches 90% complete)
• Slightly faded/dimmer color than the unplayed sound files to give a clear visual difference between recordings
