**What is the feature or ability you would like to have?**  
Currently the wave form, shows the audio as a wave and music bars.  
It would be handy to also show the time markers.

**How will this feature help you and others?**  
Songs usually have a structure, like a x seconds the breaks, at minute y, …

Now you can see the evolution of a track in the waveform, but also showing the time would be helpful when setting cue points and jumping to the right moment in the track.  
Example: I want to go to 55 seconds … this not possible right now.

**Is this feature available in an existing product? If so, what product?**  
In Traktor, you see bars that mark certain times.

**Does a workaround currently exist?**  
Not that I’m aware off.

You can do beat jumps. Songs are structured on amount of beats/bars, not really minutes. Sometimes they are minutes when the BPM is near 120 but technically a beat jump will always be more accurate.
