Feature request: custom rewind times

Thank you so much for this free service. One wish: customisable rewind/fast-forward durations. 20 seconds is much too long.

My usual rewind use-case is to hear something that I missed in the last five seconds. I end up re-listening to 15 extra seconds each time. I'd rather press rewind four times if I want to go back 20 seconds.

Custom rewind times would be great.

Sound app : the best.

The sounds app is the best. Quick access to programs over the last month. And instant replay over all the many uk stations . And free over the world.
