Well I thik it would be better too. The way it is currently, when in normal
mode, if you press [back] the *current* song plays again from the begining.
You have to press [back] twice for the previous song to play.
So if you are in "repeat one" mode I suggest it would be the same; so you
can go to previous song ([back] twice), go to next song ([next]) and start
current song from begining ([back] once).
I don't think it's confusing as the CD players do it this way...
What is more confusing I think is having several keys that have the same
function!
