Why do the yahoo music players have "back" buttons but wont let u use them???

Question

if its not gunna let u use them, then whats the point of having them there?? shouldnt they only have the "pause", "stop", & "skip" if thats the only ones that it will allow useable?

sometimes i really wanna go back, but i cant cuz the button is NEVER lit up.

arent unusable buttons completely pointless? im getting so tired of seeing a button there that wont even work!!

It's not just Yahoo.  Check out Itunes.  Bottom line is that the software developers don't blank out the button. It's simpler to code.  The player needs a back button for a playlist but the back button has no meaning playing a radio station.
