Looping m4a audio

Hi Jacque:

In my experience, I've never been able to reliably loop a native player
seamlessly.  Even if it I got it working on one system, there's always
another that runs slowly or has multiple process processes running, and a
split second pause is audible in between loops.

The only way I've ever been able loop audio seamlessly is using Trevor
DeVore's Enhanced QuickTime external. The external has a
qtMakeSeamlessLoop command that allows you to loop audio a specified
number of times seamlessly.  Check the Audio section of the docs here:

tation/


That said, if there's an actual "blip" in the file, you may be stuck, but
it's likely the blip is the result of the (attempted) loop.
