Is it possible to to merge two music tracks to make one long track?

for example if the length of the video is longer than the background music track is it possible to merge the two copies of the same music track on the timeline so there is a fairly seamless transition between the two, sounding like one long track?

(On Windows Movie Maker it is possible by just pushing the two tracks together and a crossover fade is automatically created, with a bit of adjusting a pretty good result could be achieved) Director Suite 365

It is possible here too

Put the same music in Music track and voice track. Use rubber banding to fade in and fade out.
Trim the audio for end point of track 1 and start point of track 2 in case you need to start 2nd track from a particular point of 1st track
