I wonder how to approach tracks containing more than one piece of music (for example last track on the album containing also "hidden" track at the very end) if I want them to be played separately (using the Playback Range functionality). Do I understand it correctly that the only way would be to duplicate that particular track (e.g. 2 physical files) where for one I would set the range for the regular song and for the second file I would set Range for the hidden track?? No way to avoid physical duplicates?
Thank you in advance for any ideas / comments.

i guess there is no way to avoid duplicate files, maybe someone else knows. but i missed this feature. works very nice. thanks for pointing it out.

I didn't know about the Playback Range either. I would have just used a tool to edit the track into two files.
-
would it not be nice if it would be possible to add multiple values to the playback range? especially for skipping long silences. like:
0:00-6:00;7:30-8:46
i just tried and it did not work.. but maybe an other seperator?
btw... i like this feature a lot, especially when trying to transcribe bits. made me remove yet an other programm from my computer.

Are there any clear instructions on how to use this feature?

well: you must fill in two values in the field. the point where the playback starts and the point where it should end. this can be used for tracks that have a long silence at the end or beginning or for people who just want to pick a part of a song, for what ever reason. the format is like above
0:00-6:25
this plays that track from the start till 6 minutes and 25 seconds.
i can not be clearer, but maybe there is a bottleneck somewhere.

There's the usual short and sweet...
14.0.55 (08/21/2009)
NEW: Playback Range field is user editable to allow custom cue-in and cue-out points.
NEW: Playback Range field accepts high resolution times like '1:22.343344 - 3:21.3902013'. (still accepts low resolution times like '1:22 - 3:21' or simple millisecond numbers like '82000 - 201000')

You can use a cue sheet for creating virtual tracks with playback ranges.
For instance, the following cue file will split a five minute track to two 2.5 minute tracks without changing or duplicating the source audio file.
PERFORMER "the name of the artist"
TITLE "the name of the album"
FILE "this is the name of the file.ape" WAVE
TRACK 01 AUDIO
TITLE "part1"
PERFORMER "the name of the artist"
INDEX 01 00:00:00
TRACK 02 AUDIO
TITLE "part 2"
PERFORMER "the name of the artist"
INDEX 01 02:30:00
A cue sheet is a simple text file with the .cue filename extension.
The INDEX line consists of:
- the index number which should always be 01 for this purpose
- minutes
- seconds
- fractions of a second in "the number of CD sectors" format. (The last two digits show the number of audio CD sectors and the possible values are from 00 to 74. One sector is 1/75 second.)

I figured out then that this is entered into a tag. Not practically useful for what was described in this thread - http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=53396.0
Long way to go team. Thanks.
