I've set up my Snd with a Marks menu that includes the
mark-sample-loop-points function. I tried it on some AIFF files with
internal loop info, the loop points are displayed as advertised. Effects
in Snd can now be delimited to marked areas. The marks themselves can of
course be moved, sync'd, or deleted; I'm not sure if/how new loop points
are exported. I'll have to look into that...
IMHO, DAP really does have a superior loop editing system.
