It's not easy to teach this stuff to kids but anyone who used a mobile should understand it very rapidly.
One thing i remember is i edited the keymap to jump a letter when pressing rewind/forward in libraries.

NextLetter/PrevLetter are available, as is SMS jumping or SMS filtering. The reason we don't have a 36-button "scroll bar" is that it only really works for English - it breaks with non-ascii characters and makes no sense at all in some asian languages. Direct access to Next/Prev works around the first problem and is more direct. I'd suggest replacing "page up/page down" buttons with "Next Letter"/"Prev Letter" as the pageup/down is handled by the on screen scrollbar.
As to those other features, while I agree that a better playing/nowplaying window would be nice, it's just not a priority right now.
Skinners are free to mock something up, though it'd be a hack (if it would even work) - we'd need button/action support within listitems which requires some careful code consideration.
Cheers,
Jonathan

Any estimates for a initial release, today or after weekend? (I guess after weekend)

I've taken care of most of the issues that I wanted to be fixed before the first release. I'm probably going to be redoing the login screen as it's not really working for me the way it is now, doing final checks and prepare some documentation. The way it's looking now release will be set for either friday evening or saturday morning (western european time).
Greetings,
Jeroen
