WOWSA! This is a GREAT feature. However as with many features, there
comes some bugs.

The time display in the song is all screwey once this feature is used.

One time I got "stuck" in the pitch screen -- held down ON and then I
had to hit ON again to get out of the screen. This only happened once
however.

If you hit ON and UP or DOWN at the same time it will just start
changing the pitch WITHOUT entering the pitch screen. This is akward
behavior.

Now, here is an idea I have. When you fast forward or rewind what
about instead of playing samples of the song (I think this is what
most CD players do) play the song, and just adjust the pitch as the
ff/rw speed increases? If you don't understand I will explain more --
just ask.
