Limitations
There are some known limitations with certain file formats:
ffw1. or rew within a track does not work with transcoded files.
ffw will skip to the next track; rew will move back to the start of the
current track. Pressing rew twice will skip back to the previous song.
ffw2. or rew within a track does not work with WMA filles played back
on the hardware. ffw and rew work the same with WMA as with
transcoded files.
