Description Simon Howard 2010-01-17 10:22:23 UTC 
On Mac OS X, when playing a MIDI file with SDL_mixer with the "loops" parameter to Mix_PlayMusic set to 0 (loop forever), the music does not restart again once it has finished playing.

I can confirm this bug.

We are tracking this in the pygame bug tracker too at:

Bumping priority on a few SDL_mixer bugs. This is just so we know to look at them for an upcoming release, but once we look at them more closely, we may decide to flag them as WONTFIX or push them back to a later release, so don't take this change in priority as any promise of anything, yet.  :)

I'll take a look at this bug, I was just poking at the native midi code.
Comment 5 Sam Lantinga 2011-12-31 19:41:00 UTC 
Just as a note, loops 0 means don't loop:
   If 'loops' is greater than zero, loop the sound that many times.
   If 'loops' is -1, loop inifinitely (~65000 times).
