The default Android media player can do that yea, and you can hold the previous and next buttons to rewind/fast forward too. There's plenty of free media players too, like I use Winamp at the moment, which can also do the same.
They do need to sort it out, but not by telling the manufacturers what they can and can't do, they just simply need to tell them they must release every Android update in x amount of time. The amount of time it takes for an update to come is stupid like my Desire isn't getting 2.3 officially until at least middle of Summer once the new HTC phones are released with 2.3.
I don't mind all the different UIs, as I did love HTC Sense. It came with a lot of nice features that the default UI doesn't have and has one of the best virtual keyboards I've used. I managed to install the keyboard on to the ROM I've got now, but I do miss some of the widgets and other little features.
