adjusting the seconds before the music starts

[ddouglass]

When you are playing directly from a Disc, Microstudio has to read and attempt to correctly load the file before it can start playing. If your disc is dirty or slightly scratched then this time will actually increase as Microstudio tries to read and correct the data. There is no way to adjust this time.
If you want it to play faster, I would suggest you import the files to your hard drive and play them from there.
