Oh man, this would be a really sweet change. So many times have I wanted
this function. I guess having a TiVo and this functionality makes me
want to be able to jump back a few seconds on every media device I have.

For the very rare times I want to start the song/file over again I could
give up a single back click. However, of the tens of times a day I would
like to jump back a few seconds for various reasons (learning japanese,
audio book listening, cool part in a song, etc) I have to fumble with
the rewind instead.
