Please add jump forward & back to music player

I know devs have expressed concern that space is at a premium on phones and smaller devices, but essentially every other audio player app I have used includes jump forward and back buttons within an audio track. Attached is an example from a basic podcast player, and the equivalent Emby Android screen, both screenshots from the same small cellphone. There is plenty of room to add '10 sec back' and '30 sec forward' buttons, which would markedly improve user experience since, especially on a small device, swiping to jump short periods of time is very awkward and imprecise. There is room, so please add these buttons to the Android player.

Agree, and such a change would also satisfy other requests such as this one for Audiobooks:

C'mon Emby devs - this is how APPLE does it - please add simple jump forward and back buttons to music play screens.

Is that the Apple podcast web app?

@LukeYes, on mid-sized Pixel 8a phone.

And here @Lukeis Emby Android app playing a video scrunched momentarily onto a vertical orientation screen, with swipe forward and back buttons that appear only when tapping the screen. This is already implemented in video playback - wouldn't that be an easy port to Emby's music & podcast & audiobook playback?
