The modern conventional method for skipping and fast forward is carried out by one single button that has two modes of operation. This also applies to the Prev/Rewind function as well obviously.
The button for Next/Fast Forward in our player looks like the one attached.
This button as mentioned should have a dual function: You press it once and it skips to the next media item...you hold it down and it fast forwards the currently playing media item. (again same method for Prev/Rewind).
This method is the default on just about every media player I have ever encountered! (except Rythmbox box on Unbuntu...oddly)
This operation is not reflected in Elisa. There is no seeking function to this button.
Additionaly the Elisa default remote of choice (Apple Remote) operates in exactly the same manner but through physical input methods, but the operation is exactly the same, one press to skip, hold and press to seek (this is also true of the keyboard as well)....therefore it should be replicated in the UI.
Agreed :)
