How to play full song beyond end of marked interval?

Post by mattad »

Assume the following scenario:

I load a long MP3 audio track into Goldwave and mark an interval inside.
Afterwards I do sometimes nothing resp. sometimes delete the interval.

Then I start playing the song by clicking on the pure green arrow icon in toolbar.

Sometimes (but not always) the play process stops at the end of the interval. Other times it continues to play the remaining part as well.

Similarly the stop resp. continuation occurs when I mark the interval during playing.
Or - in other cases - the same problem occurs when I click on the green play-arrow with the vertical black line in toolbar.

If the GW stops is unpredictable from what I observed so far. Maybe there is a hidden rule for that.

How can I tell GW to ALWAYS play the whole song and NEVER stop at the end of a marked interval?

Do you just highlight the interval or do you actually mark it? I set markers all the time, and I've never had problems with playback, in roughly 10 years of using GW.
I don't want to read the manual either, but, then, it isn't my problem, is it?

I may not be understanding your question properly, if not please forgive my intrusion:

Open Goldwave. Push F11, which opens the control "Control Propeties" window.
Click the "Play" tab. Under Play 1 or Play 2 or Play 3 you have the word "Selection".
Next to that, there is a check mark. Clicking that opens a dialogue box from which
you can select various options. Perhaps one of them will solve your problem?

The third playback button is "Continue to end" (unless that was changed). That always plays to the end of the file.
