Hi Atte André,

I'm still surprised to find that none of the
sample editors I tried
seems to support editing and saving of looppoints. This leads me to the
following rant: Why would I need a bunch of editors (I have at least the
following installed: audacity, rezound, gnusound, xwave, snd, kwave,
gnoise, ecawave and sweep)???? I'd much rather have one that did it all,
did it well and was stable and easy to upgrade (= is in the debian
tree). This is of course due to the nature of OSS development: people
start a new project because they miss something in the existing projects
or simply because they like to code.

I realize that there's not a lot that can be
don about it, just needed
to get it off my chest :-)
Well, the least you can do is vote for the loop-point editing in
audacity here:
http://audacityteam.org/wiki/index.pl?FeatureRequests
There are actually two sides to this problem:
- the file I/O layer to add loop points
- the GUI requirements to add loop points
Many of the above mentioned sound file editors use libsndfile (audacity,
sweep, mhWaveEdit, possibly others) which has just recently gained
suport for reading loop points. If writing of loop points was also added
you would be much closer to your goal.
