Is it possible to skip back 15 or 30 seconds without needing to use the position slider?

I recently started listening to Audiobooks with Plexamp and I’m basically looking for the same skip buttons as in the Plex video app. An audio file that is more than 20mins long can be finicky about subtle play placement with the slider, and it’s frankly dangerous to try doing when driving.

Thanks!

~~No, Plexamp doesn’t have that feature… just skipping songs or moving around within the track using the position slider.~~

**Edit:** as corrected by K.McGlashan, this information is actually incorrect!!
