The repeat-one/loop button

My Question or Issue:

Hello, I'm a regular Spotify user and there's something I've noticed with the loop/repeat-one button which I'd like to bring up.

When the button for looping a song shows a small 1 (meaning repeat-one is enabled), it plays the music over and over again. However, when the button doesn't show a small 1, the song I'm playing only loops once. It's as if the button is showing the opposite to what it's doing.

I'm not sure whether this is a bug or it's meant to be like this but I thought I may as well bring it up.

Many thanks.

I’m also just a user but I just saw your post and I know the answer. When it has the little 1 it does indeed mean that it just repeats that one song. However when you just turn regular loop on (without the little 1) it repeats the whole album/playlist. If it is turned off the music stops when all the songs in the album/playlist has been played.

I hope this helps you

kind regards Benry

How many times will the playlist or album be repeated when tapping the repeat button which does not the “1” ?

The repeat once button does not work and just continuously repeats a song.
