Hi BuzzI think there's a menu item that says Play as Loop or something?
Should have known to go straight to you with the question.
I'm looking at it in Sound Forge XP 4.5 (Win, of course) and don't see a loop-back indicator. But sound, and Sound Forge, are not my thing. Can you suggest some setting I should be looking at to make a loop-back indicator visible?

try that & watch where it loops back & then look for an indicator.
If it doesn't play it as expected, then I'd guess that it's an old .aif. & L+E on it is failing because sForge is 'clumsy' with .aifs.
Here's a tech note about how sForge used to behave: http://kettles.best.vwh.net/demos/Readme_Windows_and_Loop-Cue.zip
so try the L+E on a mac ... :)

Hi Phil -
The member probably has an internal loop specified w/in it.
Director has allowed these since forever, but most folks don't know about it.
In the old days it needed to have been an .aif or old mac SE snd file.
At some point (d6?) support for loops within .wav files was also added.
To verify it's an internal loop, right-click on the member & select
launch External Editor & take a look at the sound member re-opened
into a sound editor - it should display a loop-back indicator right
at the top of the 'ramp'.
btw: the d8 Sound Lingo terms #loopStartTime & #loopEndTime were
created so that you wouldn't be stuck with these 'hard' loop points
branded into a sound.
