Loop Playback
The MicroTrack 24/96 will allow you to loop a section of an audio file. This can be useful when practicing parts or studying dictation. The method 
for looping a file requires setting a start and end point, and is accomplished as follows:
1.   To engage Loop Playback, press and hold the [MENU] button for over 2 seconds while the file is playing.  A Loop Playback icon will be 
displayed on the LCD.
2.  Press the [MENU] button once when you reach the start point of the loop.
3.  Press the [MENU] button a second time when you reach the end point of your loop. The section will begin to loop immediately.
4.   Pressing the [MENU] button a third time will clear the start and end points, and exit Loop Playback mode.  The Loop Playback icon will be 
removed from the LCD.
While using the Loop Playback mode, you will not be able to skip to other files using the up and down action of the [NAV] wheel. You will only be 
able to fast-forward or rewind the current file by holding the [NAV] wheel in your desired direction.
