Would love to see a feature to skip ahead by 5/10/15 seconds and skip backward 10/20/30 seconds.

As a user I find it difficult to pinpoint exactly where I want to play an audiobook, or song. Having the option to skip ahead or back would make the user experience far better.

1. put audio books into their own library, separate from your music
2. activate “Store playback position” in this library’s properties
3. Enter the Settings of Plexamp. Experience - Player - Quick Skip Times

(And just to note you don’t need steps 1 and 2, you can enable quick skip globally in Plexamp)

While that is certainly true, I’d recommend it very much nonetheless.
