Cursor (music) Location ????

The earlier versions of Audition allowed you to set the cursor at a location (let's call it X:YY) and the play the music on Waveform View.  Then when you stopped the music, it would automatically go back (for the next play) to X:YY.  NOW the cursor follows the music and starts wherever you stopped the music, not where you HAD the cursor in the past.  So, if you want to repeat a section (without highlighting and looping), you have to continually reset the cursor location MANUALLY to X:YY.

Why did this get changed?  Every musician that I know that used Audition earlier HATES this new way of doing it. Obviously the Adobe engineers are NOT musicians.

    It didn't get changed. Go to Edit>Preferences>Playback, and there are several options you can change there - as there have been for many versions!
