I like to listen to certain tracks of a CD or MP3 on repeat-1 mode (playing the same single track over and over), sometimes for an entire day. No-one else I know likes doing this and think I am odd doing it. Is this a common aspie thing or is it just me?

I've always been made to feel like a total pleb for not listening to whole albums. I call myself a music obsessive but I barely have any albums that I will listen to all the way through. I like 7" singles, which I put back to the start continuously and jump around too.

When I first get a CD, I will often listen to the whole thing a few times but there are often 2 or 3 tracks which really get me going and I will then listen to those on repeat-1. Looking at my play counts for an album, some tracks have only 8 plays, whereas one as over 1,600 plays.

I do that quite often, especially if it's a song that I love.

I don't even listen to Pink Floyd albums all the way through. When I listen to "Darkside," I usually start listening at "Us and Them." I get bored through the first half of the album. Unless there are hallucinogens and the Wizard of Oz involved. Then I can usually make it through the whole thing. :colors:

I have the same problem only it's more than one song on an album. I listen to them for hours and can't seem to get myself to stop. I've had this problem since childhood.

I can listen to the same song for hours sometimes
but I do find weeks later I dont have the same appreciation for the song and find it hard to like again.

I'll listen over and over, particularly if it's a sad song...

I totally do that. I find a song I like and listen to it for hours, days, or even weeks, until I get sick of it.

Absolutely; serveral hours a day, usually. I do this in two general circumstances.

First is if I find a new song I really like; I will listen to it over and over again, dozens of times in a row, and love every moment of it. Last song I recall doing this for was Faint / Linkin Park.

Second is of a particular song elicits a certain emotional response in me, and I want to ride on it; sadness, regret, pain, anger, love, nostalgia, the thrill of battle, thinking of someone. Last song I recall doing this for was Mail Order Mystics / John Mayal.

In a similar sense, I do something like this with particular albums; The Wall, Powerslave, the Downward Spiral; albums tell stories to me, and I like to hear the story over and over again sometimes. I use short custom playlists for similar purposes, listen to small sets of song that have a certain theme or elicit a certain feeling.

Hmm. In the ala carte workings of today, I suppose the notion of an album is on the road to deprecation. Can you imagine The Wall without it being an album?

Good fortune,
