Looping MP3s

Since MP3 doesn't save cue information, does this mean that MP3s can never be looped? --Darkhand 15:28, 2 Dec 2008 (PST)

Yes. You can only loop .wav sounds, sadly. --Craziestdan 15:56, 2 Dec 2008 (PST)

Goldwave?

You have to buy some separate program just to make looping sounds in Hammer? Personally, I think that's really stupid. Why isn't anything like this included with Hammer? Day32 04:42, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Man, there's an unlimited demo version of Goldwave.. that should be enough. --NykO18 19:46, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
It's not unlimited, it has a certain amount of clicks until it expires. (I think 500) So don't go pressing crap for fun. --DannyS 23:52, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
Mine doesn't expire, I just have to relaunch it. I must be lucky. --NykO18 18:07, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
I added some information about a free program called Wavosaur. It's kicking some budget-conscious butt. --ThaiGrocer 02:15, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Cue names

It turns out that (in Ep1) the name of the cue doesn't matter, and that only the first one has any effect. You certainly can't have one to start the loop and one to end it. --TomEdwards 13:48, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Possible in Audacity?

Hey I wonder if this is possible with Audacity? --Nathaniel 00:52, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Audacity has a pretty crappy featureset, I doubt it could do this. Thelonesoldier 01:15, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
Oh. I don't have Audacity yet anyway. Nor do I have Goldwave. (I think I'll install the programs later) --Nathaniel 23:03, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
