I didn't.

AFAICT using alsaplayer with some effects almost achieves the same 
results as acid. But I have never used ACID so I can't qualify that.

When I add the ability to set loop points then alsaplayer should be very 
close.

There is also TerminatorX which achieves very similar results.

And another is spiral loops.

What is hard about these apps?

Being on stage with the band in front of crowds shouting, "Get off! No! 
We want normal music!", I think that was more like acting than anything 
I've ever done.
