Looping music with MCI sendstring

[Andrew Griffin]

I am trying to have midi music loop or just stop and load another midi
file using MCI sendstring.  I am able to play the music, but I'm unable
to detect if the midi has stopped or loop the midi.  I have tried to
check the midi using the status command with the mci sendstring, but it
responds with:  "missing parameter".  So, I just need to know if there
is a way and how.  If you can't loop the midi, then how can I check if
it is stopped?

Thanks!
