Any suggestions for an audio player with skip-ahead/back capability?
This is a must have for me too on a daily driver phone.
On my current phone, N900, there is Panucci(FOSS) which works pretty well has -60sec,-15sec, play/pause, +15sec, +60sec, and bookmark touch buttons as well as a progress bar that can be slid around or locked for fumble fingers, also saves position on app close; you can load a playlist, single file, or play in order files in a directory.
The skip buttons, and save on close are deal makers vs a music shuffle app. It would be nice if th Pinephone build was built to play AAC, OGG, m4b and other formats than just MP3 as the Maemo5(N900) build does.
On the N900 it is tied into the system's skip/back/pause for A2DP but not the main system play/pause commands for Pine I think there is one system as I will eventually like to be able to control book playback from a rented car stereo's skip/pause buttons AND from my smartwatch once that integration has been done.
If the deps can be met it will be easy to compile(I just did it on Ubuntu-Mate 20.04) and add to the repos, not sure how to recommend it be added to the build queue though.

Dependencies:
* Python (2.x)
* GStreamer (with python bindings)
* Sqlite
* Mutagen
* GTK (2.x with python bindings)(optional)
* Qt (4.7.x with PySide bindings)(optional)
With a bit more work to port there is also AudioAnchor for Android which might have some useful code or ideas, it seems to support content plugins to get podcasts or audiobook libraries.
