play sound --- for --- seconds
I really miss a ‘play sound — for — seconds’
or even better:
'play sound — from — to — seconds' (two time locations in the audio)
Now you're stuck playing the whole audio from only the beginning.
And because there is only a ‘stop all sounds’ possibility, and not a ‘stop this sound’, it makes stopping and starting of audio in different layers very limited.
Maybe a little complicated for younger programmers, but the possibilities of playing with audio inside a program is very limited (as opposed to the visual possibilities in Scratch) and this would possibly widen the scope on the audio side a little.

I agree! I would like a block like this too: Play sound ___till___.

There's a simple workaround:
play sound (pulldown menu)
wait (wanted time of sound playing) secs

You could have it play with the volume at 0 for a while, then change the volume to 100. It doesn't work if you need it right away, though.O rly? Try starting a sound other than at 0:00. There's a simple workaround:
play sound (pulldown menu)

One simple solution is to get Audacity (free download) and use it to cut your sound into separate sounds, each of which begins where you need it to.

Why in audacity? You can cut and paste in Scratch sound editor.
The problem with stopping sound is real, I agree with the author of this post. When you have several sound playing in the same time, and you need to stop only ONE sound, you can't!
Imagine the extended possibility of programming if you could!

maybe ST could add a dropdown on the stop all sounds block so you could choose a specific sound, but it still has all in the dropdown.

the second idea is good, because you can't make a cut-up of every sound variant you want, and if the times it begins/stops at are affected by something like variables it would be a pain to go
if variable=1
'play sound (1)'
if variable=2
'play sound (2)'
etc
it would be easier to just be like
'play sound (1) from (variable) to (end)
if variable=1
'play sound (1)'
if variable=2
'play sound (2)'
etc
it would be easier to just be like
'play sound (1) from (variable) to (end)

I really think this should be useful because in there could be a wait when a block is runned.

There's a stop all sounds block, you know? Waiiit this is a duplicate lemme find the link…

stop [this script v]
However, what if another sound is playing at the ame time?

I think that the "play sound from (time) to (time) is a better idea: maybe the first dropdown could have “start” in it along with being able to type in any number, and the second could have “end”?
And all the world over, each nation's the same,
They've simply no notion of playing the game.
They argue with umpires, they cheer when they've won,
And they practice beforehand, which ruins the fun!

Support, Scratch needs to get more serious and improvise with sound blocks — there's very low possibilites atm.
This is already possible using the set volume to () block if you give 0 in the input though, but that's a bit complicated.

Maybe instead of this block these?
start sound [sound v] at […] seconds::sound
stop sound [sound v]::sound
(current [time v] of sound [sound v]::sound)//with the options time, volume, and pitch

Can't you duplicate the sound and crop it at the correct length?
Although this could be useful for huge projects with a lot of music so semi support
