What is a Loop?

A music loop is a section of a piece of music cut in such a way that it can be seamlessly repeated indefinitely by technical means. Loops can range from a few seconds to many minutes in length. Loops can also be used by composers for creating a quick and convenient underscore from which a composition can be constructed, often with drum and bass line loops.

Interestingly, an mp3 cannot be looped due to additional data being stored at the start of the file. This creates an audible gap in the loop.
