Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Rigellute/spotify-tui/issues/800

DISCLAIMER: I believe this to be a spotifyd limitation or well a spotify API limitation, but as far as i am concerned i cannot set it to repeat track (so same song over and over), not even when i am connected to spotifyd on my phone.

on the tui client it just jumps back to All after setting it to track.

Maybe you know if thats something you can fix?

You are correct that this is a spotifyd (actually a librespot) issue.

See #661 for more discussion on this.

Ultimately, it appears to be because librespot only offers the option of boolean toggle for repeat (see github.com/librespot-org/librespot@4925adb4f1/protocol/proto/spirc.proto (L94)). ~~This might actually be a petty simple fix their lib if someone gets around to it.~~ Looks like this is being tracked by https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot/issues/19.

Weird, I came looking for this issue because I recently upgraded spotify-tui and I swear I was previously able to repeat single tracks. Do you know of a workaround?

Unfortunately, the only workaround I know of is to use something other than spotifyd as the player device.
