Try changing the repetition speed for your keyboard within the control panel in windows.

this will work, only just a little bit. i have a lot of hardstyle mixes and they last average about 90 minutes. you can imagine how long it takes ffwd let's say 30 minutes.

it would be nice if there is a setting where you can change the amount of secconds for each step of ffwd.

I think that a progress bar would be far more usefull then fast forward/rewind buttons. It's much faster to skip right to the middle of a song.

what about a percentage option? so you could FFWD say 10% of the song? then it would work perfect for all length songs.....

I honestly hadn't thought of that, but if you have no touch screen there's no need to have fast forward / rewind buttons on the screen anyways. They would have to stay a keyboard shortcut of course.

I like the 10 % idea, but when you end up with very long songs. 10% can be quite a long time.
I propose that it would fast-forward 10 seconds at a time through one minute. Then speed up to fast-forwarding 30 seconds at a time and possibly even skipping a whole minute at a time. That way you have fine control of where you can fast forward too, and still let you scan through long songs quickly.

I want a progress bar too that I can touch and drag about. I like progress bars.
