How to Put a Song on Repeat in the Spotify App on a PC
Quick Tip: You can use keyboard shortcuts to enable repeat on the desktop player: Ctrl + R (on Windows) or Command + R (on macOS).
Step 1: Open the Spotify app and navigate to the track you want to play in repeat mode.
Step 2: Once the track starts to play, click on the Enable Repeat icon once to repeat the album or playlist.
Note: When the repeat mode is enabled, the icon turns green.
Step 3: To repeat the music you’re listening to, tap the (green) Enable Repeat icon again.
When you do this, you’ll notice a small 1 inside the Repeat icon (the one with two arrows forming a circle). This means the song will now play on repeat.
That’s about it. You have enabled repeat mode in the Spotify desktop or web app. If you want to turn off the loop mode, click on the Enable Repeat icon again to revert to the default.
Furthermore, Spotify doesn’t allow you to put podcasts on repeat. Nevertheless, adding a podcast to your queue will replay it in the background once it’s finished.
