There's a Skip to function, but no FF or RW button. You tap the progress bar of the currently playing track, and Harmony will jump to that point in the song and plays from there.

(The screenshot does not show that the green stripe behind the title 'fills in' from left to right as the song plays. The green stripe is the progress bar.)

Glad you like it, and you can see why we've gotten pretty excited about our own handiwork. We're trying to avoid feature bloat in such a way that you get even more joy out of actually using it.

but but...still no idea on the release of a beta?

I suppose I meant the next track / previous track buttons, is there anything like that going to be implemented? Or is it just the list at the bottom of the screen?

The buttons on the driving mode screen will perform a next/previous track function.

On normal mode, touching the row with the song you want to play will play it directly. We've been discussing whether or not jumping the track list to the next page automatically plays the song on that screen or not.

absolutly bloody amazing! its so good! i think we might have a great usable mac front end soon enough BUT ONE PROBLEM...

the corner thing is a Great idea.. but what about the people that drive on the right hand side of the car, its a little tricky... anyway to have a "switch" button? or something?

hey now.. no request for changes, I promised him if we see pics, we wouldn't request anything yet as it is still "a work in progress" and he has told us this is just a temporary configuration to get it up and running!

For RDAG

Why on earth would you complicate it to have a switchable buttons positionning

Let them code away to good end

By the way when you are buying and HU do you get one with butons in a different layout Naahh

Let them code let them code

I think that if you get along on the whole line with this, you sure are "THINKING DIFFERENT"

Personnally on a scale of 10 I'll give you 12 so far
We do not need gizmo's but a plain logical and easy interface

If you want fancy tricks buy a HU or dare I say a Win package

Driving mode, why on earth has anybody thought about it !!

By the way even the standard interface is drive compatible

As I said it earlier "WAY DIFFERENT" but definitely what's needed

Can't wait to get hold of it

Well, you know us Yanks are always backwards anyhow, right?

I won't promise in this release, but maybe we could have a left-hand/right-hand drive selection in the preferences.
