Due to the community It's possible to loop TitleMusic(MAPINFO) in OGG Vorbis format using the tags LOOP_START=[SMP] & LOOP_END=[SMP].
I used FooBar2000 to add these tags into a custom OGG Music supposed to loop infinitely.
According to the WIKI: https://zdoom.org/wiki/Audio_loop
It's supposed to work, but for me it doesn't.
When I launch the mod it plays and simply ends without restarting.
The tags I mentioned are included into the OGG inside the WAD, tested TIMIDITY++ among others,
still refuses to loop, just simply stops playing it.
In THIS OGG-file:
44100Hz, 162kbps, stereo
Samples: 448320
LOOP_START=0
LOOP_END=448320
Have I missed something?

Re: TitleMusic in OGG format refuses to loop
The loop tags are only used when playing music with looping (i.e. they don't make the track loop, they just say how to behave when looping is used if end-to-end looping isn't good enough). IIRC, title music isn't played looping so the loop tags will be ignored. There may be a way to make title music play with looping, but someone else will have to speak on that.
