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

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:

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!

I need this still, we need this still. Spotify do you need some glasses to see that WE REALLY NEED THIS???

This is my look when I see that Repeat track mode is still out of Spotify. Simple feature, however... (Not me inpicture).

 

Asking simple feature like this from 2008 is just joke and laughable thing.

This feature is a must, and I cant understand why it has not been implemented yet. kudos for the idea!

It is ridiculous that this isn't implemented yet. When I was growing up in the 90s, I could easily switch a CD to repeat a single track that I loved over and over. I used to press the repeat button once for repeating a track, or twice for repeating the whole album. Why can't spotify do this in 2012???

 

Thinking about it, media player seem to be the opposite, clicking repeat once for whole album/playlist, clicking repeat twice for repeating 1 track. Not that it matters I guess, just implement it already grrrrr. Spotify is the only media player that doesn't allow you to repeat one song.

This is a no-brainer!  How hard would it be to code this?

This is the ONLY thing I dislike about Spotify and subsequently have paid for Rdio instead of paying for Spotify. I'll happily cancel and return when implemented.

PLEASE ADD THIS BASIC FEATURE. ALREADY WAITING FOR IT FOR YEARS NOW. IS SOMETHING TO GO HAPPENING?

This is just something small but it would be good if the repeat function had 2 modes:

1.repeating the whole playlist

2.repeating the song you are listening right now

Sam

Silent - I've just moved your Idea over here, as it's already been mentioned. Just add your Kudos here.
