Llorean:
How do you propose to do fine-seeking with it set at 1 minute, then? Just sit and wait 45 seconds if you need to go 15 seconds back after getting nearby?

Sorry, I never need that extensive detailed seeking, so I would be interested in why others think this is such an important and essential feature? (I could also answer in a similar fashion as you did before, "if the song is that bad that you have to seek inside it for interesting parts, why did you copy it into your player, instead just use songs which you like to listen fully", but I think everybody should decide for themselves.)

I can say for myself extensive seeking, which has to be on a direct single button press distance is not necessary. If Rockbox' philosophy is to be customizable, then why not allow even such options? Anybody could decide for themselves what they prefer.

MarcGuay:
People who listen to spoken-word audio on their players may appreciate the ability to revue what they just heard (perhaps in the case of an instructional language recording) or skip ahead (if they're listening to a news program and find the current story uninteresting).

Chronon:
We have party mode, which changes the behavior of certain keys.  I would prefer to see this functionality accessed in a similar way -- i.e. the user voluntarily chooses to enter a mode which gives quick access to file deletion and track skip.  I certainly don't think this should be any sort of default behavior, though.

Llorean:
I don't think it's necessary to add more code-size for a feature that generally should be performed on the PC side. We don't want customizable controls, and we don't needed added modes for every way someone wants to use their player.

Customization of everything is not a project goal.

Rockbox is a music player, not a library organization tool. Take the three seconds to delete a song if you want it gone.
