I know, I'm late to the party responding ... But I have been 99.99% happy with PA, and this has been bugging me for a few years and keep coming back to the issue.
I have also asked the developers in the past via direct email for an A-B repeat.. The only way I have found a work around is to use a CUE sheet. (or use another program like Music Speed Changer), but I like PA's feel, and I want select other tunes in a playlist to do the same thing.
My issue is I have three different things going on in one track. A song, fast tune 1, and fast tune 2. I want to learn tune 1. It's fast so I want to slow it down and get the tune in my head and then play along with. I want to repeat it.
I put the xxx.cue file in the folder with the MP3s
Poweramp (PA) picks up the cue file and creates 3 virtual track. I rename the tracks so I can find them. That is, TITLE "Graf Spey test"
I then select within PA the fast tune 1, in this example --- "Graf Spey test". I then put PA into repeat track mode.
So here's the file:
REM GENRE Celtic
REM DATE 2022
PERFORMER "Bolhola"
TITLE "Bohola II"
FILE "03 Home_Graf Spey_Lucy Campbell.mp3" MP3
TRACK 01 AUDIO
TITLE "HOME test" PERFORMER "Bohola" INDEX 01 00:00:00
TRACK 02 AUDIO
TITLE "Graf Spey test" PERFORMER "Bohola"
INDEX 01 03:05:00
POSTGAP 00:01:00
TRACK 03 AUDIO
TITLE "Lucy Campbell test"
PERFORMER "Bohola"
INDEX 01 04:54:00
-----------
I'm not sure the command to put a 1 second gap at the end before it repeats does anything .....POSTGAP 00:01:00
I was thinking there must be some other way to do it... like a start point in the meta data of the xxx.mp3 file itself but I can't find any info on meta data syntax that says it's available.
