Can't help but think that Music playback should be modal - press the menu
button and all the same keys work as for TV/Video/DVD with skip, jump
forward/back 'nn' seconds, speed up/slow down and press the menu button
again to navigate to another track/playlist using the same keys for
up/down/left/right etc. That way I get to use page up/down to move through
a list the same as the watch recording screen rather than it skipping to
the next track.
