Define what you mean by "in a specific time" + also what your goal is for opening the audio file, as depending on what your target action might be... using ffmpeg may be more flexible to work with audio files which appear at given points in time.
"in a specific time":
time of day or time in the audio file?

for example, I have an audio file that is 3 hours; what I am trying to do is open the file and start at 01:15:25 (hr/min/sec) - not looking for days, the audio files are maybe up to 3 hours or less.

Oh, and my goal is to to click on a link and have the audio open play where I want it - that is, place a link in my OneNote that will open VLC and VLC will open te audio file at the specific time.
