Want to listen to your favorite Spotify tracks on repeat? It's easier than you think! This guide provides high-quality suggestions and step-by-step instructions to master Spotify's repeat functions, helping you enjoy your music uninterrupted. We'll cover both the mobile app and desktop experience.
Understanding Spotify's Repeat Options
Spotify offers two main repeat modes:
- Repeat Song: This plays the current song repeatedly. Perfect for that one track you can't get enough of!
- Repeat Playlist/Album: This plays the entire playlist or album on a loop. Ideal for immersive listening experiences or focused work sessions.
How to Put Spotify on Repeat: Mobile App (iOS & Android)
The process is very similar across both iOS and Android devices.
Repeating a Single Song
- Start Playing: Begin playback of the song you want to repeat.
- Locate the Repeat Button: This button usually looks like a curved arrow and is typically found near the playback controls (play/pause, next/previous track).
- Tap the Repeat Button: A single tap activates the "Repeat Song" mode. You'll see the repeat symbol appear next to the song title or in the playback controls. Tap it again to deactivate it.
Repeating a Playlist or Album
- Start Your Playlist or Album: Begin playback of the playlist or album you wish to repeat.
- Find the Repeat Button (Again!): The same repeat button used for individual songs controls repeat for playlists and albums.
- Tap the Repeat Button Twice: A double tap on the repeat button usually switches the repeat mode from "Repeat Song" to "Repeat Playlist/Album". You'll notice a visual change (often a different icon) indicating the new mode.
How to Put Spotify on Repeat: Desktop App (Windows & Mac)
The desktop app offers a similar, intuitive experience.
Repeating a Single Song
- Play Your Song: Start playing the song you want to repeat endlessly.
- Locate the Repeat Button: On the desktop app, the repeat button is typically found in the bottom right corner of the player, near the volume control.
- Click the Repeat Button: Click once to activate "Repeat Song" mode. Clicking it again will turn it off.
Repeating a Playlist or Album
- Start Playback: Begin playback of your chosen playlist or album.
- Locate the Repeat Button: The same repeat button from the previous section works here.
- Double Click (or Right-Click): On the desktop app, you might need to double-click the repeat button or right-click it to switch between "Repeat Song" and "Repeat Playlist/Album" mode. The visual indicator will confirm the active mode.
Troubleshooting Tips
- Button Not Found?: The exact location of the repeat button might slightly vary depending on your Spotify app version and device. Look carefully around the playback controls.
- Repeat Not Working?: Ensure you're using the official Spotify app and that it's updated to the latest version. A restart of the app or your device may also resolve issues.
Boost Your Spotify Experience
Mastering the repeat function allows for deeper engagement with your favorite music. Whether it's a single track or an entire album, Spotify offers convenient controls to tailor your listening experience perfectly to your mood and preferences. Happy listening!
