March 16, 2007Brilliant stuff — works like a charm!
“If I come across a song I’d like to hear a little bit of, I select my script from the menu (I’ve saved mine as Sample this song). It then starts to play the selected song and displays a dialog box with a stop button. When I have heard enough, I hit the stop button and the song that was previously playing begins again from the position at which I interrupted it.
In the script, I have included the line set player position to 50. This starts playing the selected song from 50 seconds in to avoid listening to lengthy intros. This can be amended or deleted if you’d prefer to sample the song from the beginning.”
