So you can press UP to play, DOWN to Stop, OK to Pause, LEFT to play previous media, and RIGHT to play next media.
There are two panels in the tab because they use different methods to control media. The first media panel uses the method that is also used by media actions from the "Action" tab, so these actions may not work in all applications.
