What about an MP3 player or CD player programmed to repeat a playlist?

Does it have to be 'electronic' ? Virtually any old boot sale conventional
tape deck from a few years ago, has an 'auto-reverse' facility that is
usually settable for either forward and back once, or round and round for
ever.

You can purchase an endless-loop tape cassette...

But they're not very long. The problem is overcoming friction.

Besides, you said you wanted an "electonic" [sic] "tape". You should be able
to set up most jukeboxes to repeat a selection or group of selections.

PS: When I Googled for "endless loop tape", the OP's posting appeared near
the top of the list! Google's Web crawlers seem to work very fast...

8 track recorder and players do exist but very old these days and the
materials used inside the cassettes are not reliable over this span of time,
but those bits could be replaced.

MiniDisc players fetch little these days and would be ideal for this task.
Just make sure the particular model has this facility.

How long a play interval? What quality sound? Stereo or mono?

You'll need a very special machine for this due to the unique audio
spectrum this music uses.
Not true, for that music, telephone quality should do just fine. <gdr>

Och. ;-)

There's actually a modicum of truth in my 'joke'. The various harmonics
generated by bagpipes are rather unique - and some data reduction systems
don't cope well with them. So if you can stand it - quite a good test.

You have just described an MP3 player.

I have my reasons.
Do they involve dogs or small children?

All he needs is an old 8-track tape recorder, and some new blank
tapes.

Wasn't there a Monty Python sketch that referred to the reason for using bagpipes
as a weapon as "an instrument that would really piss people off"?

We had a skunk problem under the house and had tried all sorts of repellents; the
only effective remedy was to operate an AM radio there tuned to a talk station that
played Rush Limbaugh 10 out of 24 hours (seriously, it worked).

The skunk was outgunned by an expert gasbag?

In the UK they were extremely rare. Car players were more common. But
MiniDiscs are around and few want them these days so they are very cheap.
And a far more satisfactory answer. The 8 track was an abortion of a
device - even although I do have a working one.

I found several over the years for under a dollar.

Sorta. Bill Lear initially designed a continuous loop *wire*
recorder/player. Mad Man Muntz morphed the radio station Fidelipac
cartridge player into a consumer product. Bill Lear came back later,
became a distributor for Muntz, and sold it to Ford, Motorola, and
RCA.

I remember seeing a 4 track mono cart player where the tracks were
selected manually which was said to have come from a Lear jet.

Mad Man Muntz morphed the radio station Fidelipac
cartridge player into a consumer product.
Indeed - it's obvious by the dimensions of the cart that it was based on
the pro device.
