Daniel Ek told me in person that Repeat One is his favorite Spotify feature.

Why isn't there an option to just repeat a track? I hate having to place a song in a playlist of its own, and then put it on repeat which just repeats the playlist. People have been suggesting you add this feature for years now!

EVERY music app should have this feature! This feature should be on all the Spotify apps across all platforms.

Add it to the same button as now with a 3-step repeat mode:

1. Repeat ALL/PLAYLIST 
2. Repeat TRACK

3. Repeat OFF

My mockup of what this would look like in the iPad app (similar for desktop and other mobile devices):

My Comments:

If Spotify wants to compete with the competition, they need to add this basic feature!

It worries me that Spotify hasn't implemented this popular simple idea from 4 years ago, but instead they implement more complex newer ideas.

If you ask some people -- this has been a request since the launch of Spotify.

I love Spotify, but it hurts that a simple feature like this gets passed up every time new features are rolled out.

I feel like I'm living in the 1990s with no repeat track mode anywhere to be found within Spotify.

This is a basic feature and it's being looked at like a grain of salt. 

I comb through Twitter search every day and a lot of people are very confused on how the repeat mode works so I link them to this idea.

I've referred 50+ people now to the link... some didn't know that it only repeated the playlist.

This is very confusing for a lot of people, especially newcomers.

Oh and look at all of these confused people:

Holy smokes, they haven't added it yet? LOL!

UPDATE:

Repeat track mode is now in the desktop app! Just click the repeat button until you see the *1*

If you don't see it, it will be rolling out to everyone soon enough.

Repeat track mode will be coming to the mobile apps soon and probably other platforms soon after. 😃

FINALLY!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Matt Suda will forever be known as the guy who pushed Spotify to add repeat track mode and his legacy will live on for music lovers forever...

Thanks to everyone for your support helping me get Spotify to add this! 😃

It's in my desktop program for Windows!! THANK YOU, SPOTIFY, for implementing this!! 🙂 It is so nice!!! And intuitive! I love it!

No more cluttered single-song playlists!!

Thanks for this idea suggestion in the first place, with the mock-ups, MattSuda !!

This has just been implemented for everyone using Spotify (0.9.7 and up) on their desktop. Thanks to Matt for the suggestion and so many others who gave this idea their kudos!

Hurrah! Thanks for this, this makes a BIG change in the way I can now use/organise Spotify! I just hope this will now feature on phones and tablets soon.

Hi,

I have been asking for this since 3 days, they tell ,me constantly push the repeat button twice, then it will work, but on the iphone app it doesnt (where i would really need it) and on the web player neither, which i use at work..  because i URGENTLY need the track repeat button, I mean - who doesnt?

Because its missing, that would be one of the reasons I would leave spotify behind again!! Serious, how could the inventors not consider having this integrated?

Repeat track mode will be coming to the mobile apps soon.

Great. It crashes on Mavericks.

Yes! I am waiting for Spotify to release an update where I can repeat just one song in a playlist rather than just putting one song in its own playlist and have it repeat that way. I'm on iPhone 5S so please release this in your next update!!! I will then give it a very positive rating and recommend to friends and family. Thanks!
