Here is a copy of a message I posted to the list a few weeks back:
------------------
As far as I know, the only way to do this is to poll the MCISendString
function for the status of the MIDI file thats being played.
on startPlaying
--put your commands to alias the file here and then to play it
send "checkFinished" to me in 5 seconds
end startPlaying
on checkFinished
if mciSendString("status myAudio") is not "stopped" then
send "checkFinished" to me in 5 seconds
exit checkFinished
end if
--its finished, insert script to play it again here
send "checkFinished" to me in 5 seconds
end checkFinished
