Well if anubody doesnt know
loop means the music is going in a cicle
one fragment of the song is being played over and over
its being used in some games
And I wanted to know

Did you play a Final Fantasy?
well whatever lets say this will be a example
the letters are notes

AFD AFA AFD AFA AFD AFA

in this example the fragment (AFD AFA) is being repeated

this one is a little more dificult

FDA AFD AFA AFD AFA AFD AFA

its the same as before yet at the begining we have got a (FDA) and but the we have the same loop of (AFD AFA)s

So a loop is a fragment that keeps repeating itself over and over
And I want my songs to loop themself in my campaign
Well i could use a sound editor like in the first example
and cut out one fragment and let the game repeat it over and over
but I dont know how to pick the perfect moment of the song
and besides most songs are like in the second example
So they got a other musical fragment at the start

You cannot loop it like that without cutting it up.

Exacli Maglok, you need to cut what u made and copy it where u want it too repeat if u want it as near alike as possible. Also this depands on what program your using... im having a problem with my Music making program but I found using instruments live is easyer and have more real feeling in the music then digital. Here you can't cut it only remember how you played it, so if you do remember just do it again as the same as last time.

but are there any programs
that could automaticly detect the moment that repeats?

I always pick the wrong spot

Some that can help making it smoother, but you have to have the ear of a musician.
