My current main playlist is about 4 hours. All of my favorites, kind of like my own soundtrack, so I never really get tired of it. I curate the list every so often should one particular song feel repetitive or I’ve found a new banger (goes straight to the top slot).
1 song. Sometimes you gotta hear it on repeat.
More often it’ll be an album and I might play it twice in a row.
For an actual playlist of different songs, I only have two that I listen to frequently;
One with hundreds of personal favourites.
And another with new(or just new to me) stuff I’m interested in hearing, or want to hear again after a long time. I’ll listen through and remove stuff if I don’t care to hear it again. Sometimes music stays on there for months until I’m “done” with it. And the length fluctuates anywhere from around 20 to 2000 songs or so.
My driving playlists are usually about 30h long, and I switch them up drastically once or twice a year. If it’s any shorter I start to notice the repetitions too often. My masterlist of everything is about 150h. I wouldn’t say I like everything, but my taste is pretty diverse. I do get “taken” by a single song at times, but I like to mix it up as much as I can. Most people’s taste is formed and set to what they were listening to in their teens and 20s. There’s nothing wrong with that, I just have a fear of stagnation myself.
1 and ∞ at the same time.
I can listen to one song on repeat like 20 times in a row, the same with a longer playlist. Actually the length of the playlist doesn’t matter. Once it becomes repetitive that’s it, it will always be repetitive be it one song or 1000.
﹥8 hours for me. Working in a shop there is nothing worse than somebody playing the same 50 songs over and over again during a . Listen to something new for once, NICK.
looks at 698 song playlist on shuffle
Looks at 144h 46m playlist…
Pink Floyd’s Echoes on repeat
What do you mean “playlist”? I’ll listen to a single song over and over again all day if it checks the right boxes.
Some examples from the past few months. It’s mostly video game music, and I may or may not have heard of or even be interested in the game it’s from.

One song. Hyacinth by 22/7. They’re a “cartoon band” (much like HUNTR/X from KPop Demon Hunters, or Gorillaz) and there’s an anime about them (also called 22/7), but they are a real band. There are ten of them and they all sing.
Bonus points: Play it on Apple Music with AirPods Pro and Spatial Audio/Dolby Atmos turned on. They had no reason to go so hard on the mastering of that song, but they did it anyway and the song sounds like a tech demo for the platform/software.

P.S. Yes, it’s in Japanese. There are videos that show the lyrics in romaji (e.g. “konnichiwa” instead of the symbols) and an English translation, but I (try to) only link to official streams.
P.P.S.: Would I really listen to it on repeat? Maybe. It’s good for at least three plays, for me.
like other people said, it can be one song long, and the song does not have to be long in itself. When it hits, it hits. Im thinking about trying to listen to Napalm Death’s Suffer in repeat for one hour or two, to test this theory.
You Suffer?
Ah yes, you are correct, mb for the mistake
