How to do a Music Loop.
Here is how you make a music loop. You get a when flag clicked block then you get a play sound… until done you attach it to when flag clicked block the you go to control and get a forever block you place it in front of the play sound until done block so it sort of extends under the sound block then when you click the flag… TA DA! You have a music loop!

when green flag clicked
forever
play sound [ v] until done
end

How to do a Music Loop.
Hi and thanks for sharing! 
This is exactly what we set up in order to have a nice repeatable background music. However, there is a slight interuption whenever the sound or the loop is done and restarts. A performance problem? Is there anything we have to consider creating sound loops?
You may need to know that the project is relatively big.
Greetings.

Hi and thanks for sharing!Perhaps there are a bit of silence at the start or the end of that sound.

Thanks for your reply!
The files are just perfectly looped. So what else could it be?

Apparently, Scratch adds a little bit of extra silence to the beginning of an imported sound file. Deleting that solves the issue in my case. There's still a tiny delay, though.

For some songs, especially video game songs, you may want to duplicate the sound and isolate the intro, then isolate one loop on the copy.
Then loop with this:
Then loop with this:
when green flag clicked
set [song v] to (pick random (1) to (10))
play sound (((song) * (2)) - (1)) until done
forever
play sound ((song) * (2)) until done
end
