How many buttons are on this and what their function is. Is there fast forward and reverse or just track skip? Are the buttons so small hard to press?

There are four buttons. They are very small. They are multi-function. Menu button (also stops the lights flashing when held). Pause/Play, Skip Back/volume -, Skip Forward/Volume +. The buttons also have other functions in combination with the menu button (set clock, radio, line in). There is just track skip, not actual forward/reverse.

Haven't tried to use it, but the remote has 2 "repeat" buttons, one yellow & one green, at the 2nd lowest row on the remote. Would have to look it up in the manual, but assume one is an instant repeat. If I recall I've used the skip function to jump ahead, but I've just been using it for instructional DVD's for guitar & it jumps ahead to the next section of the lesson/song when I hit the appropriate ff button.

Yes, you can use the next and prev buttons to go one picture at the time forward or backwards. Current picture is displayed until you hit next or prev. You can also run it as a slide show, even play music at the same time (also from the hard drive). Picture control included rotation and zoom in (fixed steps only, 1x, 2x, etc.)

Hold down the forward button but be careful because if you don't hold it long enough you will skip tracks

Menu functions don't work for me either. I get volume, start-stop, and track jump forward & back. I'm using an original Mini, with 32 GB Compact Flash drive, and an older 60 GB classic style, from before they called it the 'Classic'. Perhaps it works with the newer models.

Of course it has a Reverse button, if you mean a Rewind button. I don't know what a Reverse control button does. None of the buttons it had worked, but only intermittently -- not every time I pressed them.

Each of the four buttons has 3 options. Not sure if that makes any difference in the speed. Didn't last long enough to experiment with.

Yes. There are skip forward and back buttons on the unit itself. The included remote allows you to input a track number to skip to.

You cannot skip or repeat tracks. The only function buttons on the back other than the power button are for volume and for answering a call if you have it sync'd to your phone.

Simply press one of the two upper small buttons. One is forward and one is reverse.

It has one button that acts as a pickup/drop button. They also claim on many mobile devices it can also work as a play/pause/fast forward/rewind button. Howevver, on my iPod Nano, the button only works as a pause/play button.

Yes! It is not like others where there is a specific button on the side, rather you use the wheel. If you press your finger and push the wheel to the left you can go back. If you push the wheel to the right, it will go forward. You can feel a distinct click when you do it too.

Don't know about fast forward - I just skip to the next track when i need to. I think there is a fast forward feature. I just use mine for exercising and leisure - there are no songs I don't like on it.

There are actually 3 buttons - volume up, volume down, and pause. On the s3 using Google play you can double press the pause to skip track. All of the buttons would need to be supported in software to work.

Wow, thanks for the post. For me less buttons is good. LOL. I may have to start saving for this one. Can you give another quick comment on how easy it is to use?Thanks a lot Thomas.Lamar

Yes. Although I had a lot of trouble with the skip forward and skip backward buttons. I could never get them to work properly. I wound up returning the unit. Good luck.

I couldn't figure it out. The touch screen is also so sensitive that it's too easy to lose your place. I returned the one I bought and ended up with Sansa Clip which has easy to operate FF, reverse, etc. controls.
