What makes you think there is no page down key? All buttonlists in
MythUI accept the global PAGEUP/PAGEDOWN keybindings the ones in
MythMusic are no exception.

OK so educate me tell me how it should work? Keep in mind I can do the
test case of jumping from ABBA to Meatloaf on my system takes 4 key
presses with a keyboard attached and 26 using the remote and the virtual
keyboard using the menu to start the search rather than the keybinding.
See that as a friendly challenge to come up with a more remote friendly
solution that also works well if you have a keyboard attached :)
