You really do need to use another program like Sound Forge
or Cool Edit. You need to make sure that the ends of the
loops meet at either zero point crossings or that they are
cross-faded together.

I really suggest getting a good editing program like Sound
Forge. There's a lot more to Sound Forge than just the
standard editing features. You can mangle your sounds in an
virtually unlimited variety of ways... and it's just plain
fun to boot. There is a "Lite" version of Sound Forge but I
don't think it does cross-fades and I think that the
effects are very limited.

Sound Forge XP does indeed do cross-fades. It's a very ample
subset of Sound Forge and a bargain at its price.

Sorry about that - I use Sound Forge XP [lite version of
Sound Forge] specifically for drum loops from sample CDs -
works well for me - isn't too expensive - help file says
that it will handle crossfades [not that I've had much call
to use it.
