This is a foobar2000 component/plugin for gapless/seamless looping play of tracks with loop tags/metadata/points. It can also be used to cut loopable tracks into intro/loop/outro subsongs/sections.

Supported loop tags/metadata

• The supported tags are LOOPSTART/LOOPLENGTH/LOOPEND and Loop_Start/Loop_Length/Loop_End, case insensitive.
• Integer values are treated as samples and decimals with a decimal point are treated as seconds.
• The loop start tag must be present, and if loop length and end cannot be found, the end of the track is used as the loop end.

Features

• When looping, the slider loops to the loop_start point in the seebar, and the statusbar displays the corresponding playback time of the original track.
• Configurable Loop count and total looping playback time.
• The number of loops and total time played can be configured to be displayed on the statusbar using the provided title formatting fields.
• All metadata reads and writes are redirected to the original track.

Basic Usage

• Activate the "Loop play with LoopStart/Length/End tags" DSP and place the DSP at the beginning of the DSP chain. (Preferences -> Playback -> DSP Manager)
• Play tracks that have loop tags. It will loop play 8 times or play 16:32.256 (minutes:seconds.fractional seconds) with default configuration.
• (Optional) Append the next line to the end of the status bar's formatting string to display looping count and played time. ("Preferences -> Display -> Default User Interface -> Playback state display formatting -> Status Bar")
  [ | %loop_playing_section%: ][%loop_looping_count%][ / %loopcfg_loop_count%][ | %loop_played_time%][ / %loopcfg_play_time%]

For advanced usage, detailed configuration information and title formatting fields, please refer to the documentation.

• Add an option "Continue playback to end" under "Playback time". When playback time reached, continue playback to the end instead of stopping abruptly.
