If I find myself overplaying certain songs, I sometimes have to force myself to take a break because when I don’t, I usually end up ruining/disliking the song. I hate when this happens because perfectly good songs that I love end up irritating me because I have heard it too much. Do you stop listening to those songs or just play it as many times as you like?

EDIT: changed title to be open-ended.

    I’m old and vastly prefer to listen to albums in their entirety rather than just specific songs. I’ll still sometimes listen to an album on repeat a bunch, but I think this effect is slightly dulled on me because I’m listening to 10ish tracks on repeat rather than just the one.

    My wife though - she’ll play the same 3 albums on repeat for a goddamn year at a time. I still can’t stand The Hives because they’re all I heard in our car for far too long.
