I also disagree about the pause button. It doesn't mean pause because it's next to play (that could never work; you need a different method to identify play!). It means pause because it has the pause symbol on it:

    | | pause
    |> play
    |>|> fast forward
    <|<| rewind
    |>|>| forward 1 track
    |<|<| backward 1 track
Lay them out in whatever order you want; people will get it. The important context is that you want to control the playback of something, not the order the buttons appear in.

The bigger picture here is the context, a music app - or an activity that's ongoing. The controls are grouped together, always in the same place.
