Music "Repeating Points"

Most songs have an intro of some sort. When we play our games the music we have selected play through, then when they reach the end they start again. If that song has an intro to it then it will play it again, ruining the mood set by the track. However I spotted this in the RMXP Help Manual.
MIDI files played via the DirectMusic Synthesizer. If a BGM MIDI file contains the control change value 111, that value is recognized as where the song will start repeating after it reaches the end.
Which, i think, means that once it has played through once it will repeat from the selected point ("the control change value 111"), thus skipping the intro.

Now to the point. I was woundering if any one knew where to get a program for this. 1st I'll need one to cut and edit mp3s (to remove the fade outs at the end of my songs). Then to convert mp3s to MIDI. Then I need to be able to put in this "control change value 111" into the track.
Any help would be greatly apprecieated.

Conversion of mp3/wav files to midi will never work out unless you have just a single track (ie - a solo piano). Control points/changes can be put in by most modern midi studio editing/making programs.

I have yet to find a miracle program capable of converting mp3 to midi. If you want to edit your mp3's though, you could try Audacity. It's free and (though I havn't used it) from what others have told me, it works. I prefer Cakewalk Music Creator 3 for mp3/wav editing, but that's a commercial app =p
