Honestly you probably do it already without thinking about it when trying to figure out where you left off a video that you never paused.

Or if you ever had VHS tapes, or so e from of disc media... perhaps a cassette when looking for a particular part of a song.

Maybe not as methodical as perfectly breaking it down into halves of halves, but xlos enough to help you pin point what part you are looking for.
