I tried, and I couldn't trigger the next-dir > skip by mistake. Maybe I'm just old and slow... :-) I could trigger it very easily. Of course it doesn't happen when you skip to next track, listen first, then fast-forward. The problem arises when you know beforehand that you want to fast-forward after skip. >> While I agree that folder skip might be useful for some >> people (not for me), imho this short-long click combo is >> another example for unintuitiveness: Here a combination of >> two standard operations (short click == skip, hold button == >> seek) triggers something completely different (folder skip). > Well, there are no intuitive combinations left, are there? Is > *any* combination of keys intuitive? I agree that button combos aren't really intuitive either. This folder skip method introduces the new concept of button sequences, hmm. I don't see the need for this sequence on iriver, since there is a plain button combo available for folder skip (Play+Left/Right) and even assigned, so on iriver there are now 2 ways to invoke folder skip. Otoh, the feature isn't implemented for archos, where the On+Left/Right combos are taken so a sequence would be the only option... > We had a good long (private, unfortunately) discussion about > which key combo to use instead of this "double-click" combo, Quote from Daniel: > default for "Follow playlist" option is set to "yes" Really?

You can't do Play+Left/Right one-handed? ;-) It's possible, I tried it, though a bit cumbersome...
