Loop points

[EvaBo]

Introducing the "Loop Points" feature on Spotify, a revolutionary way to customize your listening experience. With Loop Points, users can define two specific points within a song that they want to loop, allowing them to focus on and enjoy their favorite parts repeatedly.

How it works:

1. Set Loop Points:

   • While listening to a song, users can set two loop points by tapping a dedicated button during playback.
   • A visual interface will appear, allowing users to drag sliders to precisely select the start and end points of the loop.
     
     

2. Visual Representation:

   • The selected loop points will be visually represented on the song progress bar, giving users a clear indication of the looped section.
     
     

3. Seamless Transition:

   • As the song progresses, the looped section will seamlessly repeat without interruption, creating a continuous and immersive listening experience.
     
     

4. Save and Share:

   • Users can save their customized loop points for a specific song, allowing them to easily access their preferred sections in future listens.
   • Sharing options will enable users to share their custom loop points with friends, enhancing the social aspect of music discovery.
     
     

5. Loop Playlists:

   • Users can create playlists with multiple songs, each having its own set of loop points.
   • This feature encourages users to curate personalized playlists with their favorite sections of different songs.
     
     

6. Smart Suggestions:

   • Spotify can use machine learning algorithms to suggest potential loop points based on a user's listening habits, helping users discover hidden gems within their favorite songs.
     
     

Benefits:

• Enhanced Enjoyment:

  • Users can focus on and appreciate their favorite parts of a song without manually rewinding or repeating.
    
    

• Creativity and Personalization:

  • The feature empowers users to express their musical preferences by customizing their listening experience.
    
    

• Collaborative Listening:

  • Sharing loop points adds a social element to music discovery, as users can exchange their favorite parts of songs with friends.
    
    

• Improved Engagement:

  • Loop Points encourage users to engage more deeply with their music library, discovering nuances in songs they might have overlooked.

By introducing the "Loop Points" feature, Spotify aims to provide a more immersive and customizable music experience, catering to the diverse preferences of its users.

@SkyHiii, if you're into DJing, which probably you are not based on your TikTok comment which is not connected to this topic at all - you would know that loops exist for a long time and are valuable assets to audiophiles. Moreover, there are others threads that talk about "Hearts" and "create similar playlist" and this is not the one so I believe that that comment would be more beneficial there as it would help get thread on the FP.

Edited this comment - didn't realize you were pitching this idea. My bad - it's a fine idea and I hope they implement it.

Can we build on that? Can spotify make a feature called "Never End" instead?!

Has anyone heard of the Eternal Jukebox? https://www.eternalboxmirror.xyz/ 
Something like this, but just another option under the loop button, Like how shuffle has Smart shuffle as another option under the shuffle button.
"Smart Loop" or "Never End"

This would be so so so so so good!

I would absolutely love this feature. I will often find a song that has a particular section I am just addicted to listening to and I'd love to be able to repeat that section without having to constantly alt-tab into spotifuggle to reset.

I would love the option to listen only to a specific part of a song. 

For an example I place an "A" at 1 min and a "B" at 1:30 min so I only listen to this 30 seconds and after that 30 seconds the loop starts at the 1 min marker.

This feature would be unbelievably useful! Spotify, please consider this 🙂

I've been hoping for a feature like this for years! It adds a new dimension to your experience.

This would be fantastic. Free bird will be on every playlist I have if I don't have to listen to the first half!
