Playing selected sections of audio?

Audacity 4
1

Hi! Overall, getting used to 4, but there are some odd quirks that have me wondering if I’m just doing it wrong?

Previously, when highlighting a selected section and hitting play, it would play that section. Now it goes back to whatever you previous start point was. Is there a different way to play a selection? Somewhat similarly, when making a cut, instead of that being the new play point, it still goes back to where ever you started before. Kind of annoying. Not a dealbreaker, but certainly a hassle? Anyone else dealing with this or I’m I just doing it wrong?

So the fix that someone else suggested is to create shortcut. Go to preferences, then shortcuts, scroll to play selected time frame, (I think is what it was) and I made my shortcut CTRL+SPACE.

Thanks, I’ll give that a try. Seems like a weird thing to have to make a workaround for, but I appreciate the help!

Not playing selected region - #14 by Supagil for another thread on this topic.

Hoping they get this issue fixed in the next release!
