For example, the instruction says rapid learning occurs in the Alpha state. With the Alpha track being 30 minutes long, does that mean I have only a 30 minutes window for rapid learning since I have to get back to Beta immediately afterwards? Or, with time after understanding what Alpha is, will I be able to go into that state without the need to listen to the track?
It's the second one. The more often you listen to the Alpha frequency track, you will feel that you zone out less and less while in Alpha state. You teach yourself to go more easily into the Alpha zone and stay there without loss of focus. Lets say when you go into Alpha now you have to go trough high grasslands and shrubs to reach the Alpha stream. With each repetition you continually form a better path through the undergrowth and build a bench at the waterside. You can go faster into the state and remain there longer.
After a little practice you won't need to listen to the track anymore because your brain is state shifting into Alpha on its own if it is needed/wanted/congenial.
The best time to state shift with this is is around midday in my opinion. If you go into lower frequencies directly after waking up you are messing with your ability to go into Beta frequency range in the morning. If you do this in the evening your artificially slowed down or accelerated state might interfere with your ability to go to sleep afterwards. So the ideal point during the day would be the farthest away from both waking up and going to sleep.
The Beta frequency range is very underrated by most I think. As is Gamma, if not more so. For some interesting food for thought on possible effects of the Gamma frequency band on our cognitive functioning and abilities take a look at THIS.
