Are you an avid music lover who can’t get enough of your favorite tracks? Do you find yourself hitting the replay button on Spotify constantly to listen to that one song on a loop? If that sounds like you, you’ve come to the right place! In this article, we’ll show you how to loop a song on Spotify without manual intervention effortlessly.
Before delving into the steps, it is essential to note that the repeat feature is available for both Spotify Premium and free subscribers. However, the users with the free account will continue to see ads between the playbacks, especially if you’re looping an entire playlist instead of the song. Let’s begin.
What Does the Repeat Button Do on Spotify
The Repeat button on Spotify allows you to control music playback. When you tap the Repeat button once, the entire playlist or album repeats. This means that once the last song in the playlist or album finishes playing, Spotify will automatically return to the first song and start playing it again. This will create a continuous loop of the entire playlist or album.
However, when you click or tap the repeat icon twice, you will see a ticker indicating 1 right inside the Enable repeat icon. In this mode, the current song you’re listening to will be repeated continuously. Once the song ends, instead of moving to the next track in the playlist or album, Spotify will immediately replay the same song from the beginning.
In a nutshell, repeat mode repeats the entire playlist or album. While Repeat 1 specifically replays the current song over and again. With this understanding, let’s begin with the steps.
