How to play music on repeat by default?

Hi,

I've been trying to figure this out and I can't seem to find an option for this. When I choose an album or playlist, I'd like it to automatically repeat all the songs, without having to click the repeat button each time I pick a new album or list. It seems like this used to be the default behavior and at some point it changed. Is there a way to make repeat stay on by default?

Thanks!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.12

Thanks for getting back with us, volt_tackle.

At this time, this is expected behavior. You can turn on Repeat for an album or playlist, but switching will require that you re-select that option, if it is available. That said, Apple welcomes all thoughts, comments and suggestions, on how your Mac Music works or any other Apple products and services. Send in feedback on this here: Product Feedback.

Let us know if we can help with anything else at all. Thanks and have a fabulous day!

If you don't see the Repeat button in the Apple Music app
If you're autoplaying music on your Mac, the Repeat button disappears. You can't repeat songs in your Autoplay queue. If you're playing music on repeat, then only that music will play. You won't see your Autoplay queue until you turn off repeat. Learn more about Autoplay.
