[Feature Request]MediaPlayer: previous button

[Xtrician]

Hi,
Currently there is only Next button in the Notification window,
It will be nice to add previous button there.

I have put only 2 buttons there - on purpose: This way you can tap a bit to the left for the left button, and to the right for the other. If the pause button would be in between, there would be a very high risk to tap on the wrong button. I could of course make the buttons larger, but then there would be less space to show the track name.

Hi,
Look at this PowerAmp app, it has this feature:

And is very useful.

Currently when i drive and want to choose the previous song i need to open the media player and then choose.

Maybe think about customize option for this.

Yes, and it uses a lot of screen space.

Why not use the buttons on the lock screen?

I have LG G2, my phone is locked with password after 10 minutes without touch it.
When i touch it i don't have lock screen, only home screen.
So the lock screen here are not so useful.

Anyway, today we have many smartphones with big screens, is not the issue.
What about customize option?

Please consider it.
Google Play, PowerAmp and many more apps have that feature.

Thanks.

Most smartphones today are very strong and come with very large screens.
Maybe you should consider doing it configurable.

Thanks.
