Merging DFPlayer Mini with time-controlling DFPlayer Pro functions?

Hello everybody!

I am setting up a project using Arduino and a DFPlayer Mini, and I have been struggling with the apparent unavailability of time-controlling functions for the Mini, such as fast-forward, getting current time, or starting playback from a specific point of the audio. I realise that these functions are coded into the Pro library (https://github.com/DFRobot/DFRobot_DF1201S/), but given the size of the audio files that I am using I would rather not give up on the built-in TF reader. The 128mb internal storage that the Pro provides is just too small.

Is there a way to get the best of the two? Is it possible to either use the DF1201S library with the Mini, or to have the Pro play from a TF card?

I would be happy to hear any hint!!

Thank you in advance!
