Really?Maybe in the begining time you can do something else to kill it or leave it away as you like,or you can just choose fast-run button or you can just set the play time to the end of this song,whatever,as you like,the developped tech of media players can afford us such possible.Do not you believe in me?:lol XMK+ar6?'^6`!P
