We only support the audio Apple Loops. The midi ones have corresponding Audio Unit instruments which we don't support (on mac and especially not PC).

The RMIV loops are installed here by default:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Tracktion 3\VST Plugins\LinPlug\RM_IV_Grooves

They are midi and are usually accessed through the RMIV interface. But you could add this path to your loop search paths and then search for them by name and add tags to them to make them even more searchable.
