Then click on the Find Files button
You can also enter your starting point "manually" And if you want to search through several directories/drives, you can make a comma separated list.
You may give your search a name and save it.
By selecting A and B points you can loop a part of the music for ever. This is good if you want to practice music.
You may use A and B on your keyboard to start and stop the looping.
The button

The button
Resets both A and B position
You can check your position of A and B with the buttons
By using the Fine Tuning lever, you may adjust A an B. Hint: For toggling between A and B for find tuning click in the text box for A and A will fine tune
Clicking in the text box for B value and B will fine tune using the fine tuning scale.
