some CD players used to have this function. I have a cheap old one called 
STZ HCD-370 which has A-B repeat.

The problem is that the repeat on CD players isn't seamless - there is 
always a very short pause in between. If you want such a function, you'd 
be 
better off with a Minidisc player which can do really seamless looping, 
and 
are cheaper and more versatile.
