Repeat a bounded audio passage with VLC Android A-B controls

Set a start and end point around the desired passage. A-B repeat loops that interval, while queue repeat and playlist order are separate controls.

Choose a suitable local passage

Use an authorised seekable audio item and identify the short interval you want to hear again. This can be useful for studying dialogue, checking a sound or practising pronunciation. Record the intended start and end in the source’s timeline. A local repeat control cannot recover audio that is absent from the source or create a recording of an earlier live programme.

Set the two endpoints

VideoLAN’s VLC for Android 3.5 audio-player documentation describes A-B repeat in the additional options. Set the start marker at the beginning of the desired passage, then set the end marker when the passage reaches its end. Once both are present, the bounded repeat starts. These markers define a subrange, unlike repeating the whole item or proceeding through a play queue.

Check that the interval is useful

Listen to several cycles and confirm the start does not cut off an important consonant and the end does not omit the final sound. If the passage is too short or includes unwanted material, remove the markers and set them again. Keep the original playback-speed setting in mind so a slowed practice loop is not mistaken for a change in the recorded voice itself.

Exit the loop deliberately

The documented controls distinguish removing markers from closing A-B repeat. After finishing, verify that ordinary playback proceeds as intended. If the controls differ, identify the installed version instead of treating the 3.5 screenshot as a universal current interface. This guide describes the published audio feature; it does not claim a device test, supply copyrighted dialogue or establish a UK IPTV replay feature.
