Is there a way to make them loop twice automatically or do I have to edit it? Also, do I have to label my own files? Can someone help me? I'm trying to rip my own Game Boy music for myself.

Do you mean that you are trying to convert the .GBS to .MP3, .OGG, or.FLAC? The reason I ask, is that the .GBS file IS the music...

If you just want to play it, You can get:
WinAmp (http://forums.winamp.com/showpost.php?p=2984799&postcount=2) and ChipAmp (http://www.chipamp.org/)
FooBar2000 (https://www.foobar2000.org/download)and the respective Component(s) (https://www.foobar2000.org/components/tag/game+music) (In most cases, Game Emu Player will cover you pretty well)
or any of several other players (http://www.zophar.net/utilities/audio-players.html).

If You want to convert it, I highly recommend the Foobar or WinAmp options.
--------------------------
Edit: Looping is, more or less, dependent on the length you set. Some of the plugins have a "Loop count" setting, while others have a "Default Length" setting. I usually set my "Default Length" at roughly 3:00 to 3:30 (Anything longer gets pretty redundant, In most cases)

Which plugins have a loop count setting? Also, is there a way to label music from it? Usually, the songs I get from the rips are like "Game Title 1/x".

I think the WinAmp plugins have the loopcount setting, but I don't remember, because I've had problems trying to use it on my last couple computers...

As far as tag editing goes, It's kinda hit-and-miss. Again, I'm not sure about WinAmp, but You can edit tags [for most formats] and Title appearances with FooBar2000.

The reason you get the 1/x is because of the contained subsongs. A .GBS [or .NSF, or .KSS, for that matter], if properly ripped, will usually contain the entire soundtrack for a game. So "x" is the total number of subsongs within your file. If you're using Winamp, I don't think there's a way to get rid of that, but FooBar is quite customizable in that aspect....

...and I swear I'm not playing favorites with FooBar2000!!! Lol! I wish I could use WinAmp as much as I did in High School, but it doesn't seem to play well on Win8/10 like it did for XP and below... XD

I figured out how to rip Game Boy music better, but I need some help with one. Are you familiar with Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble?

I've Heard of it. Never played it, though.

Well, I found a high quality rip of it. However, the songs are labeled as "BGM #" and "Jingle #" and not by any sort of track names. I need the help of someone who knows where the songs play so that I can easily organize the soundtrack. I have a lower quality one with names, but that soundtrack has 30 tracks and the new one has 40.

You may have to do your own tagging. It looks like FooBar supports tagging .GBS files. Good luck finding titles though. I think most folks just tag them by level/cutscene/sfx/etc.

And that's really about the best I can help you...

Just out of curiosity, where are you getting your .gbs file? Zophar's Domain, by chance?
