Resolved Question

Any music player software with INTRO function ??

Jan 3, 2015 7:47AM PST
Hi Friends:

I'm looking for one MP3 music player software that has the INTRO function. I mean, the function that is similar to the INTRO function that you can find on several CD players. Any operating system is ok.

I have more than 3,000 pieces of exotic music and I just want to listen the first 20 seconds of each song.

Thank you very much for your kind help !!!

Ableton live lite 9 is free and quite easy to use. You can drop an intro into a seperate track or a countdown anywhere within your track. This is how it works. You make track one your "intro" track,
insert your intro ie click track, snare, or metronome to the length you wish.

Add your own track on track two positioning it at the end of the intro track on track one. When you press play the the both tracks will play. So you'll get your intro and then your track will kick in.
Hope that makes sense. Here's a link to Ableton and good luck.
