Alright, I figured out most of the problem. I just downloaded the app last night, but it must have been the previous version. I redownloaded it from the link in your previous post and sure enough, the up and down does work while held down. The right/left however do not work held down. I thought this was a limitation on Front Row, but has anyone else been able to fast forward a song or movie midstream or will it automatically go to the next or preview track?
This version also seems more stable. I have not had a crash today while using it. With the previous version, it didn't freeze, it just disappeared and then when I got out of Front Row, the crash message would appear and I'd just relaunch it.
I think a much bigger version of the app would be beneficial, one that takes up most of the screen. It would be great if it disappears after a short (say 2.5 seconds) period of non-use and then pops back up after you tap the screen.
Great job Mahalis! What a great program you've built! Thanks for making my MacCar experience that much more enjoyable.
Best Regards,

P.S. An idea for an easier interface for those who do not have the graphical experience or resources would be just to build an invisible app that would sit on top of Front Row that would just respond to mouse clicks. So if you click on the right side of the screen, it would go to next. If you click on the top part, the volume would increase. And then say, you could click on the top left corner and that would be the menu button. Center of the screen would be play/pause. It would work the same way as this program, except there would be no visible interface. Could be cool! Just an idea.
