I’d like to loop a song so its perfectly looped and replays seamlessly when on repeat.

Can someone nudge me in the correct direction how I can get that or where to start?

Edit: Anytune app was most useful for this ;)

    It’s been more than a decade since I did this, but I can give you the basics. The key is to start and end the clip at a point where the sound pattern temporarily hits zero (the horizontal axis). I used Audacity to do the editing. It had a feature that would find those crossings automatically, which made the process somewhat easier.

    Make sure you don’t encode as MP3, as it doesn’t support seamless playback in a standard way. There’s a forced gap due to the compression. Use for example wav or ogg.

    You might be able to use endless jukebox if it’s still around, and record the output
