Skip song with long press on Volume +/-

[dekans]

It would be nice if we could skip song by long-pressing Volume + for next song, or Volume - for previous song.

Especially while the screen is off.

Use of trackball could also be a good thing to avoid turning on the screen for basic actions.

Yeah, was thinking of this too..

My old phone had the long press volume buttons to skip song..

However, for the trackball, I'd say to only make it skip songs whitin the player.. Left/Right for skipping prev/next song and up/down for prev/next folder... I can think of many random song skips if changing song with trackball is enabled outside the player...

Thanks for the request.

Using the trackpad to skip forward or backward within a song (15 or 30 seconds per swipe - maybe selectable?) would be a great feature for me. No problem with it only working while the screen is on, that's just the same as the rest of the controls.

Having now been using PowerAMP daily for a month or so, this facility is probably the biggest thing that I miss from my previous (WinMo) phone. I had hardware a D-Pad on that, and I had that set so the left and right buttons skipped fwd/back by 15 seconds per press. I sorely miss that ability for quick replay of something I missed, or to quickly skip past adverts in a podcast. The slider bar is pretty-much impossible to use for such fine control, and even fast-forward/fast-reverse buttons wouldn't help much as they too would be somewhat coarse and unpredictable.

Any chance this could be added as a simple trackpad option?
