MP3 Player with Separate FFD and Skip buttons

#1 Post by t20user » Fri Jan 16, 2009 9:57 am

Does anyone know of an MP3 Player with separate FFD/RWD and Skip buttons? It seems like all of them integrate the FFWD button with the skip button. I like to skip commercials and sometimes I end up tapping it instead of holding it and I have to restart the track and find my last listening point. This can be a huge pain since the broadcasts I listen to are 3+ hours.

My Creative Zen player has a separate Seek To function button that allows you to forward and rewind anywhere in the file; then it has a separate Skip hard button. I have the Zen 6GB player that also plays video files (but I got mine on ebay for $30) http://us.creative.com/products/product ... 99&listby=

Thats interesting but I want it for in the car while I am driving. That one looks like you have to pick a spot in the file then push the button. I might give it a try if I find one cheap.

Any others?

Oh, don't get started with talking about pushing buttons and stuff while driving, that's dangerous :lol:

Really, though, it sounds like you need separate hard buttons on the player for FFD and RWD. I found this website with several remote controls for iPods and a few also offer FFW and RWD buttons, perfect for use in a car.
