   gripe #2591: overloaded audio UI control

   I so dislike when the fast-forward function is put on the same button as the   
   next track function.  Tap once:  next track.  Press and hold:  fast-foward.   
   So you're in the middle of a really long track and trying to fast-forward past   
   a   
   section, when your finger slips and poof, now it starts playing the next track   
   instead.  Getting back to where you were is a PITA.  This is especially   
   annoying   
   with touch screens.

   Gripe #2593:  slow fast-forward   
      
   On a lot of gizmos, pressing and holding the fast-forward button will   
   fast-forward slowly at first, then speed up after a couple of seconds.  This   
   allows some flexibility in navigating through a track.  Some gizmos don't have   
   this feature.  Bleagh.  I have some long recordings and they're not broken up   
   into tracks, for reasons.  Sometimes I want to skip a few minutes.  It   
   shouldn't   
   take minutes to do that.

   Would you trade your funk for what's behind the third door?
