Add Fast Forward & Fast Rewind to SC
Last modified: 2009-09-13 13:33:36 UTC
I was just listening to a one hour podcast and wanted to rewind to listen to the previous minute again. I pressed the << rewind button on the controller without giving much thought and ended back at the beginning of the podcast. I was about 40 minutes into the podcast. In the context of the traditional Sony control icons the >> forward behaves more like the skip to end >>|. I realize this would be a big change for the remote controller and so am not asking for you to change that. It would be great if you could add a Fast Forward within a track/song/podcast on the SC. Something like the drag capability on the iTunes progress bar or another button that would fast forward and fast rewind. Thanks in advance, Beau
hi Beau- we call this "song scanning", and it is a fully functional feature, though perhaps not an easy one to discover. In fact, I myself use it with podcasts frequently and it's very handy. to use song scanning, press-hold either the << or >> button on the controller. You should see a popup window that comes to the screen that says "song position" and has a slider. At this point, use the scroll wheel to select the spot that you want to jump to, then press the center button and it will jump there.
