Loop sound block
This doesn't work:
<when green flag clicked>
<forever>
<play sound[ clip ]and wait>
<end>
The sound is not "seamless". In other words, after the sound plays and before it starts again, there is a noticable pause.
We need a block that says:
play sound [___] and loop
I was able to get around the limitation like this:
<when green flag clicked>
<forever>
<end>
I put 7 in the wait block where the sound file was 8 seconds long.

Re: Loop sound block
I think you mean 'seamless'

I support! 
But how exactly would it go? Would it have a 'loop this many times' thing or would it go on and on, similar to how a Forever block runs?

Re: Loop sound block
I see why you would want that block, but a whole block on it seems a bit too extreme to me... maybe the [play sound [ ] until done] block could be improved to fit what you want? Eh, that probably isn't possible
I think that workaround you described is simple enough though

Re: Loop sound block
Support. I actually used the same technique in an attempt for a seamless sound, but it doesn't always work so well. I would like something that repeats seamlessly.
