Thank you for the effort. FWIW I did not predict it to be a fault and by launching this thread it could be said that I didn't consider it to be normal. The issue remains neither a 'fault' nor 'normal' from my POV.
I am new to this Android OS thing, to say that I am distinctly underwhelmed would be a severe understatement. Is there somewhere in the Sony mothership or the Google hegemony where I might lodge a development 'wishlist' item for this remote controller/TV/OS?
My expectation from the outset was that, as little advertising could be (easily) derived from a radio broadcast recording, the developmental effort expended - compared with that for video - might have been minimal.
The observed 6sec 'jump' (rather than a true FF facility) is probably a flaw in the coding. I am otherwise thankful that the exercise of obtaining and then playing back (uninterrupted without any FF) of a radio broadcast recording is 'mostly' reliable and actually really quite simple. Also, underdeveloped as it so obviously is, I am likely to be spared (for now) from the dreaded arrival of in-line or insertions of advertising.
Perhaps I should be satisfied that, from within this state-of-the-art Android OS thing, there is what might even be called 'a feature' - a 6sec jump through the radio recording file's time code. However, as a feature, this is really not an improvement over the FF transport facility that's so necessarily standard on serial access tape technology - even on old musicassette technology...
