Would it be possible to create an audio player where a sample loop file can be loaded and just played back in a loop? The important key is to repeat the loop without any gaps in the beginning or end, because technically, the loop file is made such that it is exactly the right length to be looped on the beat. This won't work on a regular jukebox player. But the real looping programs are huge audio applications meant for much more.

Maybe this is one of the "huge" applications you spoke of, but doesn't Sony's Acid Music do what you are looking for? I believe it was/is free, but even if not, it is not that expensive.

I've heard of it, but never looked into it. Yes, that would probably be one of the huge applications. Still, it's worth a look. Definitely not free though! |

Try Looper...it's fairly minimal at this point but it ought to get the job done for you. If it's along the lines of what you had in mind, let me know, and I'll clean it up a bit.  Looper.zip (299.37 KB - downloaded 106 times.) |

(see attachment in previous post)I think that works...I don't have a drum loop here at work to tell for sure. I can write back later. Would it be difficult to just do it in the trout player? because all the controls and stuff are already in there...keyboard shortcuts, playlist, drag/drop support. |

Sorry, haven't really played with it since version 3. There is a free one that is called Acid Xpress, though it has many limits. Acid Music Studio is there as well, with fewer restricitions for ~$60 retail, but the full Pro version is going to set you back a lot. As I recall, however, it wasn't "heavy" and with what you do with music, it may well be worth the ~$60. Just a thought. What I found nice was the loops were already available, most of them royalty free. Here is where you can get the free version. |

Nah, not difficult. Grab the latest build (see my sig); it should do gapless looping now. |

Bump. Hey Skwire, I wonder if you'd consider adding the following features:
- User toggle: minimize to tray
- User toggle: start in tray
- User toggle: start playing most recent track on startup
Use case: I sometimes play birdsong for my birds during the day, it'd be nice to just launch the app, and have it play in the background without taking residence on the taskbar.
