And BTW the beep feature already IS implemented. You said "we"?

Perhaps... What if I do want to switch tracks though, say I'm browsing a music album? On Fri, 13 Oct 2006, Erik Slagter wrote: >> I fear it's not what we want.

That might do it... I guess track skip next/prev is pretty much the only thing this undo would apply to though? Well I'm trying out one possible solution. I've put my patch up in P#6188, if anyone is interested in trying it out. It's an alternative WPS mode in which skip next/prev cause a 5seconds quick skip forward or backward within the current track. And you can toggle back to the normal mode any time.
