You need at least a standard sound card. " The idea is simple: anytime during play, you press the "A" key (marks A point), the music keeps playing, when you press the "A" key again (marks B point), it loops endlessly between the two marked points, until the "S" key is pressed (clear), or a new A point is marked. Morover, whenever a A-B range is defined, the "play" button/menu jumps straight to the A position." > Also, I think it should have a tooltip explaining what it is, as > it's rather obscure to "normal" people.
