Help Question about Google Play Music on Android

Android Question

Hi, quick question about the Google Play Music app on Android

On iOS, when listening to a track (saved offline or not) you can slide the tracking bar to skip forward in a song, but there is no way of fast-forwarding or fast-rewinding by holding down the forward/backward arrows.

Often, I'm listening to podcasts that might be like 1 hr long, and if I want to go back 30 seconds, it's extremely hard to do so by sliding the track progress bar backwards. I wondered if the Android app would let you rewind by holding the backward arrow?

I'm considering switching to a Nexus phone on my next upgrade (advantages are that I love material design, disadvantage would be losing iMessages). This would be a possible thing for the advantage category. Otherwise it will be neutral.

Thanks!
