Hey there, thanks for posting! 

On your desktop app, you can do that by holding SHIFT + LEFT/RIGHT Arrows 

That's on Windows, but I believe the same shortcut applies on MAC, if not you can try with CMD or CMD+SHIFT+LEFT/RIGHT arrows, but let me know if that doesn't work and I can check for you tomorrow : )

Hi, in mac you can use playback options as the screenshot attached. Also you can use built-in keys to play/pause(f8), next song(f9), previous song(f7)
