   Fading the ends makes it less jarring, but still makes the looping really
obvious.  I have made some recordings which were intended to be looped
without any obvious beginning or end.  What I did was to cut the first half
of the track out of the recording and paste it on at the end, and put some
work into blending where they were joined so it sounded continuous.  The new
end and beginning were originally continuous, so they play nicely and
without calling attention to the loop.
