How to Loop, Repeat and Continuously Play Songs in Spotify

Listening to your favorite song on repeat can be an enjoyable experience. Spotify offers several methods to loop or continuously play songs, whether you use the mobile app or desktop program. This guide will teach you how to easily put songs on repeat on Spotify.

Repeating Songs on the Spotify Mobile App

The Spotify mobile app for iOS and Android allows premium subscribers to loop songs. Here’s how to enable repeating tracks:

1. Play the Song You Want to Loop

Open the Spotify app and play the song you wish to repeat. You can find it through search or select it from a playlist.

2. Tap the Repeat Button Twice

In the bottom bar, tap the Repeat button (two arrows in a loop) twice. It will turn green and display a “1” icon. This indicates the one song will keep repeating.

3. Disable Repeat When Done

To stop the repeat, simply tap the Repeat button again. The “1” icon will disappear.

And that’s all there is to it! This feature does require a Spotify Premium account.

Putting Songs on Repeat on Desktop

Spotify’s desktop app and web player enable all users, including those with free accounts, to loop tracks.

1. Play the Track You Want to Loop

Launch Spotify on your computer and play the desired song through search or your library.

2. Click the Repeat Button Twice

In the bottom “Now Playing” bar, click the Repeat button twice. It will turn green and show a “1” icon.

3. Turn Off Repeat

Click the Repeat button again to stop repeating the song.

Repeating Playlists and Albums

You may also repeat entire playlists and albums on desktop and mobile Spotify apps:

  • Playlists: Click the Repeat button once. It will turn green to indicate the playlist is looping.
  • Albums: Click the Repeat button once to loop the album.

Click Repeat again to stop playlists and albums from repeating.

Keyboard Shortcuts for Repeat

Spotify offers keyboard shortcuts to quickly repeat tracks without using your mouse or tapping the screen.

Windows/PC Shortcuts

  • Repeat song: Ctrl + Shift + R
  • Repeat playlist/album: Ctrl + R

Mac Shortcuts

  • Repeat song: ⌘ + Shift + R
  • Repeat playlist/album: ⌘ + R

Use the shortcuts again to disable repeating.

Using Spotify Autoplay for Continual Music

Spotify’s Autoplay feature creates an endless playlist of similar songs that plays after you finish an album or playlist:

  1. Open Settings
  2. Select Playback
  3. Enable Autoplay

Now music will keep playing after each list ends. Note you can’t combine Autoplay with explicitly repeating playlists.

Creating and Repeating a Custom Playlist

For the most control over looping songs, create a playlist with only the specific tracks you want to repeat:

  1. Make a playlist
  2. Add the desired songs
  3. Click Repeat to loop the custom playlist

You can reorder songs or add/remove tracks at any time.

Tips for Repeating Songs on Spotify

Here are some useful tips for repeating tracks with Spotify:

  • Download songs for offline listening to avoid interruptions from poor connections.
  • Use a VPN if you encounter regional restrictions when looping tracks.
  • Play white noise or nature sounds on repeat to help focus or sleep.
  • Combine repeating songs with timers or alarms for custom ringtones.

So that’s how to easily loop and repeat tracks on Spotify! With these steps, you can continually play albums, playlists or specific songs to your heart’s content.
