Hi Victor,

thanks for your quick answer :)

I agree with you about the long press quickly increasing the volume.
When you have in-ear earphones, it's really terrible for your ears!

As for the "skip track" feature, it's been a pet peeve for a lot of
Android users. On some phones it's implemented by default, on some
others it's the same anti-feature of "rapidly increasing volume".

On Android, some developers tackled the issue and created the Xposed
framework [1] that allows to control lower layers of Android more
easily. Thanks to this, a module called  Physical Button Music Control
[2] has been created that answers exactly this problem: you can control
very precisely your music with shortcuts you define. I think this is a
bit overkill, as I just want a ~300ms press on volume up/down key to
skip to next/previous track.

Hope this helps :)
