I disagree. It's pretty intuitive for me, and I've listened to music on CDs. Personal opinion vs personal opinion.

The confusion/misdirecting part for me is that I would expect to hold down a 'Seek' button to seek through the track.

However, as a user, I was just trained to recognize the 'Seek' button as 'Next' or 'Previous' track.

So there are conflicting messages in their design. Why would I want to hold down the 'Next Track' button to seek ahead in the song? I would never think to do that.

While I kind of agree, it seems to be pretty common behavior for software audio players. VLC for example has the same UI and behavior.
