Audio playback software

Hello, new student here.

First, I'm So impressed by the site. I'm really enjoying starting to understand the theory behind the way music sounds.  It absolutely changes the way you hear music.

im wondering what music player most students are using for practice. Something where you could mark the various choruses and phrases in a song and easily jump to the beginning of each one would be very helpful. Also the ability to create a new track that had one phrase, blank space for the student to play back, and then looped again would be great. Fiddling with the basic music player on my laptop is a bit tiresome.

Any suggestions would be great.

Many thanks
