Only plays the files once.
hidden:sound(id:'sound.mp3',loops:25)
Any help?

I've looked into the source code - apparently I never got around to implementing sound looping.
It'll have to go on the todo list for now. I should be able to do it within the next few weeks.

If you're need to loop a file, here's a work around. Download a music editor such as Audacity. Copy the file you want to loop into a project the number of times you want it repeated. Then convert the file to an MP3 file for uploading. It's low tech, time consuming and tedious but it works. I experimented with concept when trying to vary the speed of a metronome beat within a single file. I haven't incorporated it into a tease yet.

Making a single mp3 that metronomes many times creates a giant file... 1 or 2 MB, which really limits the size of the tease. Thanks for the idea, but I'll wait for the fix :)

The file will be big if the bitrate is big. When you edit your sound in sound editor, lower the bitrate to 32bps or even lower. The thing is that quality drops with bitrate, but if the sounds are simple (the metronome sounds are) they do not need a lot of memory. For example I'v made a 1:10 long files and the size is 200-250 kb, which is ok, imo. After all I doubt you'll need more than 5-6 metronome paces per tease.
It'd be great to have a fix. But I'm afraid waiting for it simply doesn't worth it.

Or you could loop the page, make a load of pages the same with a hidden delay and have the sound play on each one
