Well..would be nice, butI don't think it is really important.

But I have a suggestion for Stefan Huelswitt and the jump-function in the MP3-patch:
since MP3s with lengths over an hour are very unusual I would find it much better if the 
jump-function in the MP3-part would not be in hours:mins, but in mins:secs. Anybody else 
thinking the same?

Have youi ever tried to press the "up"- or "down"-button instead of "left/right"? Absolute 
jump has been there since the jump-function was implemented.
