For example, i like to listen to a part of a song, so i want foobar2000 can play this part of the song repeatly, how can i do this? Quickly reading about the A-B thing, it looks like the settings aren't saved between sessions, so I'll persevere. I'm not familiar with APLs, so I'll focus on cue sheets. Here's what I'd do: I'd use Goldwave or Wave Repair to create an accurate cue sheet for the track. You could use other software but the two mentioned will allow you to pick your points at frame level. Goldwave is Shareware, but will read MP3 files. Wave Repair is Shareware, but has a Freeware mode, which fortunately has the functionality that you need; unfortunately you will need to work with a WAVE version of your file. I don't see this as a major problem: it's worth doing things properly. I use foobar to convert my lossy file to WAVE, create the cue sheet using the WAVE in Wave Repair, and then manually edit the cue sheet to point to the lossy file. In both applications you would load in the file, and then use the controls to navigate to the point at which you want to start listening, adding a cue point. You'd then navigate to the point at which you want to stop listening, and add another cue point. Once you have done this (you may create as many cue points as you want) you would save the cue sheet. If you used Wave Repair on a WAVE converted from an MP3 then you would need to open the cue sheet in Notepad and amend the FILE reference to the name of the MP3 file. Ensure that the cue sheet and MP3 are in the same folder, and then drag the cue sheet into your foobar playlist. You can add/edit TITLE and PERFORMER lines in your cue sheet, to name the sections. As an example, here is a cue sheet I just created in Wave Repair, using a WAVE I created using foobar's Converter on an MP3:REM Cue Sheet written by Wave Repair FILE "X:\Dinosaur Jr\Ear Bleeding Country - The Best Of Dinosaur Jr\13 - Get Me.wav" WAVE TRACK 01 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 TRACK 02 AUDIO INDEX 01 02:56:53 TRACK 03 AUDIO INDEX 01 03:37:35 Note that the FILE reference uses an absolute path to the source, and that we have three tracks, with track 2 being a "favourite section". I would edit this in text editor to this:REM Cue Sheet written by Wave Repair PERFORMER "Dinosaur Jr." TITLE "Ear Bleeding Country - The Best Of Dinosaur Jr" FILE "13 - Get Me.mp3" MP3 TRACK 01 AUDIO TITLE "Get Me: Part One" INDEX 01 00:00:00 TRACK 02 AUDIO TITLE "Get Me: Part Two" INDEX 01 02:56:53 TRACK 03 AUDIO TITLE "Get Me: Part Three" INDEX 01 03:37:35 Edit: For more information, take a look at the cue sheet wiki article .
