Assign Next/Prev track buttons to Roku remote when playing music

Please assign the << and >> buttons on the Roku remote as the Next/Prev track for playing the music queue. Right now, both the left/right on the d-pad and << >> buttons are doing track seeking. It is very cumbersome every time I want to advance to the next song when I play music on my Roku. (Yes, I use my TV to play music. It has a good sound system. ;-P)

After playing music for a few minutes, the player will go into the album art view, and the control will be hidden. I have to press a button (usually down on the D-pad or OK), then make sure the Next track (>|) is highlighted, and press OK again. Please consider assigning dedicated buttons on the Roku remote for the Next/Prev track, just like the Play/Pause button on the remote. Thank you.

I’m 100% with jmouse888.

Using Plex app on Roku TV to play my music library through my (awesome) sound system is my primary music player at home. Going to (skipping) to next track is not efficient use of remote and track seeking is not as useful (or widely used IMO) as next/previous track function. I agree with jmouse88, reassigning <I, >I,remote buttons would be appreciated.

Another reassignment option: press & release <I, >I once to move to previous/next track, press & hold to seek forward/backward (current default assignment).
