meta

public void meta(javax.sound.midi.MetaMessage metaMessage)

Trap meta events. Why isn't there a simple way to loop midi? Let me get this straight.. the only way to loop a midi is to:

• 1) register a MetaEventListener
• 2) override the meta() method.. whatever that does
• 3) look for type 47, of course this is not enumerated anywhere
• 4) manually restart the sequencer
Someone please explain to me why this is better than sequencer.setLoop(true)?

Parameters:

metaMessage - I have no idea.
