 * Is there a way to play a middle section in protected playback as the start of
   the track is just an intro. The interesting part is 1/3 of the way in. Perhaps
   only play 25% to 60& for example.

 * Hello [@doctorpeter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/doctorpeter/),
 * Thank you very much for using our plugin.
 * Unfortunately, this is not possible by default without using and customizing 
   the FFmpeg integration. This is because the process requires preserving the header
   and the index table (TOC) of the MP3 file to maintain proper seeking functionality.
 * However, you have alternative options that do not require modifying the plugin’s
   core files. You can set a higher playback percentage, for example, 60% or 70%.
   Alternatively, you can create the demo audio files on your own computer and upload
   them via the product settings.
 * If you would prefer to customize your plugin copy, please do not hesitate to 
   contact us through our plugin website:

 * Thank you for the very prompt reply. Much appreciated.
 * Can you give an indication what such a customisation may cost if we decide to
   go that route.
