Mp3 player that lets you go back 5 seconds with the left arrow
As always VLC will do that for you. The key combination:
⌘ +^ + →
from within VLC will skip forward 5 seconds. Left arrow for backwards.
You can also change the key combination, as well as skip, 10 or more seconds depending on the combination you choose from the menu, VLC>Prefernces>Hotkeys:
iTunes is highly scriptable.
You could write a one line AppleScript and then assign it to the the key combination of your choice.
