@Starryk - yes, sounds like it would be a good addition to Wyldanimal's player, and well done for writing the code. Certainly more than I could do with Java ;-) Glad it solved the problem.
I wouldn't hold my breath and wait to see if there's something similar in the new official software though. I doubt very much that anything like that will be included. The quicker you contact Wyldanimal, the quicker he can incorporate your idea into the player.
