Regular MIDI files don't usually loop. There's one fairly standard way to do it, which is supported by WinAmp and I think used by RPGMaker. It involves a special command.

MID2AGB however, expects the loop points to be marked with "[" and "]". Anvil Studio can add these.

There's also the possibility of hand-hacking MID2AGB's output to add loop points:

myLoop:

... (song data here)

.byte GOTO

.word myLoop

... in each track.

Of course, that never really was much help to me...

We just told you. Open the MIDI in a sequencer, add markers with "[" and "]" at the two ends of the loop.

Guys, Guys, can you please explain in a more simple way, step by step if possible. I'm new to Music Hacking.

Whats a sequencer??
The above solution is to loop .midi files or .S files? I'm confuesed!!!

	I had problems trying to figure this out, but it isn't very complicated. First, open the .s file in question. Each "track" starts with @************** Track x (Midi-Chn.x) **************@ and each "measure" is marked as @001, @ 002, etc. Find the measure where you want the loop to start, and after the @ line add "songname_track_measure:". Then at the end of the track, before .byte FINE, add these two lines: .byte GOTO .word songname_track_measure Here's an example. Say I'm looking at track 2 of the song "test". I want it to loop to measure 2 when it ends, so after @002 I add "test_2_002:" and at the end of the song before .byte FINE I add .byte GOTO and .word test_0_002. Hopefully that makes sense. I'm bad at paraphrasing ____________________

Since I said open a MIDI file, its obvious I meant a MIDI file. A sequencer is a program that edits MIDI files. Google could have told you that. Seriously, if you can't even figure this kind of thing out how do you expect to handle high-end hacking ._. being new to a concept has nothing to do with common sense...

Ooh.

That's handy. I'll find this rather useful, and I missed it on Board 2.
