How to Find Your On Repeat Playlist on Spotify

Part 1. What Is Spotify's "On Repeat" (or "Repeat Rewind") Playlist?

While "On Repeat" and "Repeat Rewind" may seem similar, each offers different content. Both, however, eventually help you see which songs you return to again and again, keeping your favorites close.

• 

  The Playlist for What You're Loving Right Now

  "On Repeat" reflects your current music taste. It's filled with the songs you've played most over the past 30 days. It updates automatically, so your most-played tracks are always in one place. The content is based on your current listening habits, so if you haven't explored new music recently, the updates might be less noticeable.

  Then there's "Repeat Rewind." This playlist focuses on songs you loved and replayed for the past a while ago but haven't played in over 30 days. It's like a nostalgic trip down memory lane. Like "On Repeat," it updates over time, so you keep rediscovering older favorites you used to listen to a lot.

Part 7. How to Fix Your "On Repeat" Playlist Not Working on Spotify

If On Repeat feels stuck, try listening to new songs or repeating different tracks. Updates may take a few days. You can also save your favorites to another playlist to ensure access, even if On Repeat hasn't updated yet.

On Repeat not updating

Your On Repeat playlist updates automatically, but it may not show new songs right away. If you've been listening to the same tracks for a while, older favorites might stay longer before new songs appear.

On Repeat feels stale

If the playlist isn't reflecting your current favorites, try exploring new music using the Search tab. Listening to a wider variety of songs helps the playlist adapt and include fresh tracks.

Playlist changes aren't showing immediately

Even after adding new songs, it can take a few days for On Repeat to catch up. Give it some time for the playlist to reflect your updated listening habits.

On Repeat isn't updating as expected

The playlist updates based on your listening trends. You can nudge it naturally by mixing new tracks with your usual favorites, so it adjusts over time.

Still having problems?

If your playlist still feels off, try saving your current On Repeat songs to a separate playlist. This way, you can keep a snapshot of your favorites while waiting for updates.
