In addition to automatically displaying the "now playing" screen w/ the
remaining time and progress bar on pressing FF of REW, I think another
helpful and intuitive feature would be for the x4,x8,x12 speeds to ramp
up automatically similiary to how the volume , or title scrolling
currently works "on hold". Most MP3 and CD players work this way... On
button release, the player could either automatically start playing
(similiar to a CD Player) or it could continue as it does now, until
Play,Pause,or the opposite scanning direction button is pressed
(similiar to some MP3 players and most video players). Perhaps this
could be user configurable? Or perhaps the two could be rooled into
one... where tapping the FF button "skips" 20 secs forward, and REW
skips 5 sec back and resumes play automatically. Holding down the same
FF/REW for longer than x seconds (user selectable?) would begin the
automatic ramping described above.

What do others think?
