"fast-forward"

Can "fast-forwarding" be used synonymously with "skipping" in regards to a song? I've seen some forum posts that stated it can be, albeit for stories. The dictionary entries I saw for it don't specifically state that it can be but I still felt like it would work. Besides, some keyboards and even Youtube have the fast-forward button do a sudden skip rather than a gradual fast-forwarding. What do you think?
An example sentence would be: "I'm the type of guy who just listens to a section and then fast-forwards to the next song."

It sounds OK to me.

An example sentence would be no colon here "I'm the type of guy who just listens to a section and then fast-forwards to the next song."

I would say that "fast-forward" is associated with music and video more than anything else. When I was a child, we still used cassette players for music and fast-forwarding was a common requirement when I was bored with the song I was listening to.

@emsr2d2
Would "some keyboards and even Youtube have the fast-forward button doing a sudden skip" work or would that also have that to-arrange-for-somebody-to-do-something-meaning?

An example sentence would be: "I'm the type of guy who just listens to a section and then fast-forwards to the next song."

Also, why does the colon not work there? I thought the sentence above fitted the schematic "More general: more specific".
