That'd be great if you've got a proper keyboard, but not too much help if
you're just using a remote.  How about using the digit keys?  Pressing a digit
key n could jump you to n/9 of the way through the list.  Eg, pressing 0 takes
you to the beginning, 9 to the end, 3 to 1/3 of the way through the list, and 5
to 55.5% of the way through.  I'd find that useful when scrolling through
artists in mythmusic, too.
