Very useful, you're right

Perhaps, you don't know the PLAY+ UP/DOWN functionality? It's quite enough in my opinion.
Yep, by FFand REW with sound I meant the ability to hear the file play while in FF and REW, as with the original iRiver firmware. This is also helpful in studying language and music, rather than blind-guessing as to how far to wind back to (including whern you can't look at the screen, such as while driving or exercising).

And I'm familiar with and use the Play + up/down function, it's just that I feel like I'm playing a game of "Twister" when using it, requiring both hands. IMHO, a dynamic scroll speed in going through lists would be a dramatic (one-handed! ) improvement on this (as could be a short press + long press combination of some sort, perhaps skipping to the next letter of the alphabet, if that is possible, or through a set number of listings).
