Yes you description of how I hold the player is better than my own.

I have quite small hands but only the bottom right hand corner of my h140 player is sitting in sitting against the palm of my hand but as my smallest finger and next two fingers are gripping my player I don’t feel in any danger of dropping my player.

I find the 2-key combinations harder to use.  If my player is in front of me on my desk or in the car, or on my belt, it is much harder, or dangerous, to do a 2-button manuever such as that here than a simple short + long click left/right.

I guess in my case the real issue is that I never want to change directories then playing back audio books, as when this happens when I am driving I have to pull the car over to safely fix the problem.

But I do want to be able to change directories when listening to music ever now and again but I tend to do this from the directory screen not the while playing screen.

I believe seeking backwards is broken in long files since 31/07.  Try this, play a long file until buffer wraps (twice to be sure), then seek backwards to a point that is no longer in the buffer.  This broke for me with flac, mp3 and mpc (seek to start).  I have written a patch and will submit it asap, eg. tomorrow.

After reading your bug description if sounds like I am seeing two different problems and assuming they are both the same thing.

Firstly I experienced the bug you describe and then secondly I think I have been having problems with the key mapping issue then I tried to recreate the problem thanks everyone for helping me to get a better idea of what the real problem is.

I will wait for your fix see how much it helps.

I think I will also see about making a request for some sort of configurable study mode as well, a bit like the part mode but with the following configurable features.

-   Switching off the key tapping directory change feature.
-   Using the short long key press combo to set and cancel A – B seeks points and the record button to start playback from you’re A – B repeat point.
-   Switching on hold disables all key presses with the exception of pause so you can still pause and resume playback if you switch on.
-   Rewinding past the beginning of the current file returns to the previous file and continues seeking backwards from the end of the previous file.
-   Audio playback while seeking.
