Can I change the starting point of where a song in my library starts to play every time?

So I was listening to the Meat Loaf album Bat Out Of H*ll (classic, ha) and every time the track “You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth” begins, you always have to listen to about 1:00 of dialogue before the song actually starts. Is there a way to tell the music app on my iPhone “every time you play this track, start it at 0:58”?


Thanks!

Nevermind, figured it out for anyone else wondering the same:

After changing the Start, it will always start at that point in the song. However once the song ends, if you hit the rewind button to repeat the song, it'll start from the very beginning again. In order to get the track to play at the edited start point, you have to double-click on the track. Hope this helps!
