Play Only Part of a CD Audio Track

When choosing the CD audio track to play, you are not limited to playing the complete track of the CD.

In the Clip Selection text boxes, identify exactly where you would like the CD Audio Track to begin and end. In the example shown, Track 10 of the CD is set to start at 7 seconds from the beginning of the track and end at 1 minute and 36.17 seconds from the beginning of the track.

This feature allows you to play only a select part of the CD audio track. You will need to make notes of these start and stop times by playing the CD audio track prior to accessing this dialog box.
