My Question or Issue

Everytime I open the app it switches playback to repeat/loop. It's not much of an issue if I hit play on a playlist. But I generally don't use playlists except at work. When I search a song and click it to play, its automatically on repeat. Since the "playlist" for one song is well... One song. That means it defaults to repeating the same song. I know the "solution" is to just uncheck the loop. But it's a hassle to open the player and change it every single time I start the app with a new session. And I'm usually not thinking about that. I'm thinking "I wanna listen to Torna a Casa and the rest of the songs the algorithm suggests like it."  And it makes it essentially impossible to start listening hands free.

Hey everyone,

Thanks for posting in this thread! We appreciate your patience here while this is being looked into.

Just to confirm, does this happens when listening directly from the Spotify app on your phone or PC? Or does it only occur when listening in the car via Bluetooth?

And to help our teams with the investigation, we will need some more details. It would be great if you could send us the following (if you haven't already):

• The make, model and OS version of your device(s).
• Current Spotify version.

• Does this happen to every song or is it intermittent? Any patterns on when this happen? (i.e. when app starts for the first time).

• If possible, a short video showing how things look from your end (just make sure it doesn't include personal info). Should the files be too large to attach here in the Community, you can send them to us as unlisted YouTube videos or via Google Drive.

We'll keep an eye out for your replies!

I have been having this issue for years. I commented on this thread already years ago! Every time that I come back to this thread after another year I think surely they must have it fixed by now. It's only an issue in my car (ford sync Bluetooth) anyway I give up. I am now finding a new music streaming app I won't continue to give money to a company that completely ignores simple problems that users experience FOR YEARS

My Question or Issue

Hi, so i have had this issue for a couple of months now, whenever i connect to a car via bluetooth the song i currently play is stuck in repeat. When i try to toggle off the repeat button it flashes and there it is again. Whenever i am not connected to any cars bluetooth it works just fine, with headphones, works fine. I have tried a clean reinstall like 75 times over the last days because nothing i find on the forums seem to work. I did find a redit thread that said that more people have the same issue but no solution was proposed.

2025… and I see I’m having the same issue as everyone else which is frustrating as a new Spotify premium user who decided to get a Spotify account over Apple Music. If I can’t get a solution will definitely cancel and switch over to Apple.
