Here's a great example of how to loop AAC audio using an available function from the iPhone dev kit called "AudioQueueEnqueueBufferWithParameters". With this, you can achieve basic music playback/loopage. Yet another burried iphone sdk article lol:

If you are hell bent on using MIDI, you might as well just make the MIDI on your computer using some form of MIDI editing software, then convert it directly to AAC using something like Ease Midi Converter or Cool Edit etc.

I was pretty upset I couldn't find any MIDI related support, mostly because I like to keep things fairly optimized the first run through. (i.e, typically MIDI runs on the audio card, alleviating cycles from the CPU, and MIDI files tend to be smaller in size.) But oh well, this works quite well, and is better than nothing...

Hope this helps, Cheers!
Sorry, I've read this post and your other post saying essentially the same thing, and I fail to see how playing a sound in AAC format (or any of the other digital sound formats) is akin to playing sound via MIDI file. Apples and oranges.
