To repeat a song on Amazon Music, tap the repeat icon twice in the Now Playing screen, the first tap loops the entire playlist or album, and the second tap (which shows a small "1") loops only the current track. If you're using an Alexa-enabled device, simply say, "Alexa, repeat this song" to loop the track hands-free, and when you find one worth keeping, you can buy a song on Amazon music to own it permanently.
Repeat a single song using the app or web player
The repeat icon works the same way on the Amazon Music mobile app, desktop app, and web player. Here's how to set it to single-song repeat:
- Open the Amazon Music app or website and start playing the song you want to loop.
- Tap the Now Playing bar at the bottom of the screen to expand the full player view.
- Look for the repeat icon, two arrows forming a circle, near the play/pause and skip controls.
- Tap the repeat icon once. It will highlight, meaning the entire playlist or album will repeat.
- Tap the repeat icon a second time. A small "1" will appear inside or next to the icon, indicating that only the current song will repeat.
Once the "1" is visible, the song will play on an endless loop until you change the setting. To return to normal playback, tap the repeat icon until it's no longer highlighted.
Repeat a song with Alexa voice commands
If you have an Echo or other Alexa-enabled device connected to your Amazon Music account, you can loop a song without touching any buttons. This is especially handy when your hands are busy cooking, cleaning, or exercising.
- Make sure your Alexa device is on the same network as the device running Amazon Music.
- Say, "Alexa, repeat" or "Alexa, repeat this song."
- Alexa will confirm and put the current track on a continuous loop.
To stop the loop, say, "Alexa, stop repeat" or "Alexa, disable repeat." The music will then continue playing through your library or playlist normally. Alexa's voice control is the fastest way to repeat a song on Amazon Music when you're away from your phone or computer, just speak and the track keeps going.
What the repeat icon looks like and where to find it
The repeat icon is a pair of curved arrows arranged in a circle, similar to a refresh symbol. It sits in the row of playback controls at the bottom of the Now Playing screen, right next to the shuffle, play/pause, and skip buttons. When the icon is not active, it appears gray or unhighlighted. After the first tap, it becomes highlighted (often orange or white, depending on your theme), signaling that the whole playlist or album will loop. After the second tap, a small "1" appears inside or beside the icon, this is your visual cue that single-song repeat is active.
If you ever want to download music from Amazon music for offline listening, you can still use the repeat feature, just start playing a downloaded track and follow the same steps. The repeat icon behaves identically whether you're streaming or playing files saved to your device, so you can loop a song even without an internet connection. Knowing exactly what the icon looks like and where it lives means you can toggle repeat in seconds, without hunting through menus.
