Feature Request: Need a simple jump forward / backward control button in controllers

I’m using my Sonos more and more to listen to podcasts.  Would really help if the controllers had simple buttons for a 30 second jump forward, and a 10 second jump backward in whatever is playing.  Yes I know I can move the current slide to move to a new spot in what I’m playing… but this is hyper sensitive, a set time jump forward / backward button would be much easier when listening to podcasts.

Hello @kh57 , welcome back :)

It is up to each music / podcast service to implement these features through the Sonos App. As an example, both TuneIn and BBC Sounds offer these buttons to their podcasts.

I would recommend reaching out to the podcast service you are using and request this feature to be added to Sonos.

Leaving a like and marking Best Answer might make someone's day. Who knows, that someone might be you.
