This is a very interesting thread. Let me summarize: PLEASE GIVE US BACK AUDIO WHILE FAST FORWARDING AND REWINDING AS A USER PREFERENCE! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.
As a professional mastering engineer, one of my regular tasks is to listen/evaluate a new piece of music that comes in from a prospective client. Usually my assistant puts it on the slimserver because it's easy and convenient to play, it's in the folder called "listen_evals" and stays there for a time. I almost never have time to listen to the whole piece. Usually I want to play the intro, hear a little of the verse, and skip forward to a chorus or some other parts. Although the old software's fast forward was pretty dumb sounding and you had to be real careful not to accidentily skip to the next file instead----a reasonably skilled listener could at least tell when the chorus began while skimming! So I need this and dearly miss the ability to hear something while skimming forward. It's a real time saver in a long piece of music to find the spot you're looking for. This should be intuitively obvious to the most casual observer. Thanks in advance. Can someone please pass this on to the developers? Make it a preference and then everyone can have their cake and eat it, too. I do recognize how much faster it is to fast forward or rewind IF YOU KNOW exactly how far you're going. But if you are listening to an unknown piece of music, having some audio clue as to where you are when skipping is essential.
