I'm not sure if Stephen is on HN, but I asked him this question last week[1]. His response was that since the songs are different lengths, a file that was truly loop-able would be super long (if you have a 90 second song and a 2 minute song, you need 6 minutes of audio to create a file that perfectly loops both of them)
Seems like there is probably some set of clever hacks here that could get you around this (although I don't know enough about radio to propose any); I think I asked about pre-computing some state for each song on its own and he had a good response to why that either didn't work or didn't help much, but unfortunately I don't remember it!
