How to create seamless looping MP3
I've been working on creating video game music, and when I use the Loop feature to play twice, the songs loop seamlessly just like I want. However, at the very very end of the MP3, there's often a second or two of dead space in the song. Is there any way to generate an MP3 that will loop as seamlessly as they do when the Loop feature is used but without generating empty space at the end of the MP3, so I don't have to set the MP3 to just repeat 20 times or something like that?
Ideally, if I have the song looping twice, create an MP3, and fire it up in Windows Media Player on Repeat, I want it to sound like I have an infinite loop, not that I have a song that loops twice, pauses for a second, and then repeats.

Unfortunate. Thank you.
This is a perfect task for the (free) sound editor Audacity:

I understand your idea, that's what I use too for now, but I always mess up with a manual looping correction. Is there an option in audacity that simplify that part?
Thank you.

This is not the Audacity forum.
And you're some 6 years late ;-)
Or just use regular repeat signs in the music.

It only allows us to play it twice. And even if we could have it to reapeat 10 times, it would give a really heavy audio file for our game. It's sadly not the best option.

It allows an arbitrary number of repeats, 2 just happens to be the (pretty sane) default.
Change the play count of the measurewith the end repat barline to anything different (in its properties)
