[P] [E] Music loop function not working for custom music
Not sure if this is a bug or something I'm doing wrong. If I am, then I guess this'll just be a resource for someone who's facing the same problem in the future.
My trial has a lot of music that's 'custom'. I've cropped off the ends to get them to loop properly, however, when I input the 'loop start time' it appears as though it's completely ignored.
I have tried hosting the file on two different sites, Discord and Dropbox. I've tried Chrome and Firefox (I'm on Windows, btw) to see if there's an issue with what browser I'm using. I've tried messing with the loop start time just in general. None of these solutions seem to make a difference when I sit in the player, listening to it to see if it loops properly. It always returns to the beginning of the track.
Here's the music. I've set its loop to start at 9.6 seconds in (ignore the darker colors, I just have Dark Reader).
Here's the file.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/qnrxooz5kwr8d ... y.mp3?dl=0 / https://dl.dropbox.com/s/qnrxooz5kwr8d0 ... _Lobby.mp3
This is a problem for all my other music files as well.

Hosting the file on Dropbox vs Discord shouldn't affect whether looping works.
Have you been having problems with the built-in music tracks?

Yes, this problem persists even with the built-in music tracks. They loop back to the beginning as well.
Would taking a recording help?

Re: [P] [E] Music loop function not working for custom music
Probably not! It was just easier for me to ask you for additional details than to open up the editor and see for myself.
"Music loop feature isn't working, period," is a much saner problem, and one I should be able to reproduce without much effort. I need to finish up a QA, but I'll put this high on my list of active issues, AAO-side.

Glad I could bring it to your attention, then!
Let me know if it's not a problem on your end, though.

I have the same problem actually. I don't know exactly when it appeared but it's around the same time beeps started to bug in Firefox.

Re: [P] [E] Music loop function not working for custom music
That would be when we switched the audio backend from the very old SoundManager system to Howler. We forgot to double-check the music loops were working as intended when we switched. I'll try to get this fixed sooner rather than later.
In future, don't hesitate to file a report when you notice a problem like that!

Re: [P] [E] Music loop function not working for custom music
Hey all, this problem's still persisting for me. I used https://furygun81.github.io/Music/AA4-Trucy-4595.mp3 and inputted a loop start time of 4595 (miliseconds?). Instead of starting from there, it just plays from the very beginning once it reaches the end.
