It seems that almost all (if not, ALL) of the loops I've been able to find, skip between looping. It's really frusterating because I cant put together a quality track with all these breakups in the sound.

Does anybody know of a way to fix this? Here's an example:

The problem is that you're using MP3 files for loops. MP3 files always have a bit of silence at the ends. You'll have to open the files in something like SoundForge, trim out the silence, and then save them as WAV files.

Ditto what Chienworks said. The bit of silence at the beginning and end of an MP3 file is inherent to the format; you can't get rid of it no matter what you do.

Sony has a propriatery format with an extention of .pca. You can also say your edited mp3s in that format. It's lossless, but other (non-sony) programs don't support it.
