#1 Turn off the Loop Mode

Amazon Music is one of the best music streaming services on the market. It offers hundreds of features you may not know of.

One of them is its “loop” mode, which makes Amazon Music repeat the current album, playlist, or song you’re listening to.

With this feature, you won’t need to ask Alexa countless times to repeat the new song that you love.

However, having this feature turned on, might be the reason Amazon Music is always playing the same songs even if you don’t want to.

But, don’t worry. Disabling the loop mode is really quick and simple. You’ll just need to:

Mobile and desktop app:

1. Open Amazon Music.
2. Select the media player at the bottom of your screen.
3. Tap on the loop icon until it turns white.

#2 Close Amazon Music

If you haven’t closed the app in a while, you might want to do it.

You see, this is the easiest way to get rid of temporary bugs or glitches that are preventing you from disabling the “repeat” or “loop” mode.

Moreover, by force quitting Amazon Music, you’ll give it a fresh restart.

Sounds good, huh?

Follow these steps to fully close the app:

Windows PC:

1. Click on the Windows icon at the bottom of your screen and type “Task Manager”. Then, press Enter.
2. Select Amazon Music. If you’re using the web version, you’ll need to select your browser (this process will close all your open tabs).
3. Click on “End Task”.

Mac:

1. Press the Option + Command + Escape keys on your computer at the same time.
2. Click on Amazon Music.
3. Choose “Force Quit”.
4. Click on “Force Quit” again to confirm the process.

iPhone and iPad:

1. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen and pause in the middle of the screen. (If you have an older model, please double-click the home button).
2. Find Amazon Music by swiping right or left.
3. Swipe up on it.

Android:

1. Go to Settings and tap on “Apps & Notifications”.
2. Tap on Amazon Music.
3. Select “Force Stop”.

Once you’ve fully closed Amazon Music, relaunch it and make sure the loop mode is turned off. Then, stream your favorite playlist to see if the issue was solved.

#3 Refresh Your Music

If this issue persists while trying to listen to your downloaded songs, try refreshing your music.

You see, if your songs were not able to sync, Amazon Music will skip them and end up playing the same tracks.

The easiest way to refresh your music is by going to the app’s Settings menu and clicking on “Refresh My Music” or “Reload Library”.

If you’re using the mobile app, you’ll be able to open the Settings menu by tapping on the gear icon at the top of your screen and selecting “Settings”.

But, if you’re using the desktop app, you’ll need to click on your profile icon at the top of your screen and select “Settings”.

Once you’ve reloaded your library, try playing your downloaded songs again.

#4 Talk to Alexa

With Amazon Music, you’ll be able to talk to Alexa. Your new personal assistant.

It is in charge of fulfilling your requests and improving your streaming experience. So, if you’re tired of listening to the same songs, ask Alexa to skip them and to turn off the “loop mode”.

To do it, you’ll just need to launch Amazon Music and open the song you’re currently playing. Then, tap on the Alexa icon and say “Alexa, please skip this song” or “Alexa, please turn off the loop mode”.

Please note that in order to talk to Alexa, you’ll need to have a strong Internet connection.

#5 Clear Amazon Music’s Cache

Your cache is where Amazon Music stores temporary information. This way, it can quickly access this data, without the need to re-download it from the servers every time you launch the app.

As you noticed, your cache has great benefits. However, it’s not perfect.

You see, if you haven’t cleared it in a while, your device may store a lot of files you don’t really need. 

By clearing Amazon Music’s cache, you’ll be able to free up some storage space on your device and get rid of any corrupted files that are preventing the app from working as it should.

Windows PC:

1. Type “File explorer” on the search bar at the bottom of your screen. Then, press Enter.
2. Click on “Local Disk” and select “Users”.
3. Open your username folder.
4. Click on the App Data folder.
5. Select “Local” and go to “Amazon Music”
6. Select “Data”
7. Clear the Data file.

Android:

1. Launch Amazon Music and tap on the gear icon at the top of your screen.
2. Tap on “Settings”.
3. Go to “Storage” and tap on “Clear Cache”.

iPhone and iPad:

You’ll need to reinstall Amazon Music in order to clear its cache:

1. Go to the home screen. Then, press and hold the Amazon Music icon until it jiggles.
2. Select “Remove app”. Then, click on “Delete app” to confirm the process.
3. Connect to a strong Wi-Fi signal or turn on your mobile data.
4. Go to the App Store and search for Amazon Music.
5. Tap on “Get” or “Install”.
