I am a long-time user of AIMP on PC. I have noticed a difference in how the "Previous" button works compared to other music players.
Many music players (Spotify, Apple Music, etc.) follow a standard behavior for the "Previous" button: if a track has been playing for more than a few seconds, pressing "Previous" restarts the current track from the beginning instead of skipping to the previous one.
In AIMP, this "restart" function is currently tied to the "Play" button, which is quite different from the industry standard.
This makes it difficult to synchronize AIMP with other commands or external control scripts. It would be great if AIMP could provide an option to choose how the "Previous" button behaves based on the elapsed playback time.
If this customization option were provided, I believe AIMP would be absolutely perfect.

It's not standard behavior for desktop application. It get introduced in mobile world, and now it is spreading to desktop.

Ok, I will add the options like in mobile app.
