> what does fast forward and rewind do?
symbols in "traditional" media playback, the icon shown would traditionally be for fast reverse/forward. skip back/forward to the previous/next would had a vertical bar to the point of the triangle. some also go so far to differentiate skip/scanning where scanning uses two triangles while skip uses one triangle with the bar. not really sure what Apple has done to them though. i would almost expect them to be skip instead of the scan with Apple expecting you to use the playhead (in whatever format it is made available) for scanning.
the play button in Apple's use is typically action instead of state. so in this state, clicking it would start play, and then the button changes to the "pause" symbol (an = rotated 90°).

so this is a really good example of mixing usage.
