Pressing TRACK START or TRACK END once will "pre-roll" the start or end of the selected Track.
When you press and release TRACK START, the Track will play from its beginning and will play for
five seconds, while pressing and releasing TRACK END will begin playing five seconds before the end
of the Track and will stop once the end of the Track is reached. The reason this functionality is

to preview those points before you crop.

If you are listening to a Track and you hear a section of audio that you wish to move Track Start pointer
to (either for Cropping or Splitting the Track), simply press PAUSE to pause the audio then hold
PLAYLIST EDIT and press TRACK START to instantly move the Track Start pointer to the point at
which the Audio was paused. Alternatively, you can just hold PLAYLIST EDIT and press TRACK
START while the audio is playing, to capture the point on the fly. Once you have moved the pointer,
you may of course use the scrub and preview features to fine-tune the pointer location.
The same techniques apply to the Track End Pointer; press PAUSE to pause the audio then hold
PLAYLIST EDIT and press TRACK END to instantly move the Track End pointer to the point at
which the Audio was paused. Alternatively, you can just hold PLAYLIST EDIT and press TRACK
END while the audio is playing, to capture the point on the fly.
