Yes.. I know... that's why I wrote 'not' ! I'd prefer mm:ss, because mp3's are much shorter 
than movies and minutes are rather inaccurate. Compared to a movie it would be the 
same if one could only jump in 15-minute-intervals.
A typical movie is between 90 an 120 minutes long, so you have 90-120 places where 
you can jump with minutes. A typical song is around 5 minutes or even less, so you can 
only jump to 4 or 5 places in the song. With seconds you could jump to 300 places.
Currently I have 2001 mp3's on my harddisk and NONE of them is 60 minutes or longer.. 
so I think that the hh:mm-scheme is not very useful. In fact, you could remove the hh-field 
because its very unlikely that anyone will ever need it.
