I have a Sprint HTC Hero and have been using the built-in mp3 player. It works well enough, but I would like to have the ability to skip forwards and backwards by an increment of time, within a music file, similar to how Tivo commercial skip works. I would like buttons that:
A) skip forward 30 seconds (or so)
B) skip backwards 7-8 second (or so)
The usage scenario is that I'll be listening to something, and A) I want to skip ahead of it, using multiple skips if I want to skip a few minutes, or B) I want to repeat what I just heard.
I typically am listening to interviews or recorded radio (with DJ announcenments), very long mp3 files of 30 minutes or longer, and will want to skip ahead of a song or will want to rewind just a bit to hear again what was just said.
The slider approach used in most mp3 players is no good because my mp3 files are usually 30-60 minutes long, and it's pretty much impossible to touch and slide that to move ahead just 30 seconds, much less move back just a few seconds. And certainly it can't be done when I'm on the move.
I did check Appbrain and the Market itself for "mp3" and "music", and just get a billion spammy mp3 "search" apps, mp3 cutters, ringtone converters, etc. By searching for "music players" I did come across "Astro Player" which has fast playback capability, which is nice but not quite what I'm looking for.
Has anyone seen a player that can skip forwards and backwards within a file like this?
A) skip forward 30 seconds (or so)
B) skip backwards 7-8 second (or so)
