How to loop part of a song on Apple Music

Apple Music can repeat a whole song, but not just one part. To loop a single section, search the same song in Cherry, drag the two grips around the part you want, and save. Cherry plays that part on repeat.

What Apple Music's repeat does

Apple Music lets you repeat a playlist or repeat one song, but both repeat the entire track. There's no built-in way to loop only the chorus, a verse or the drop.

Cherry is a separate music player built around exactly that. It doesn't link to your Apple Music library: you search for the song in Cherry and snip it there.

How to loop just your part

  1. Search the song in Cherry

    Find the song (or a slowed, sped up or remixed version) and add it to your library.

    Tap the scissors, then drag the grips to the start and end of your part. Preview it.

  3. Save and loop

    Tap Save Snip, and that song now plays only your part, on repeat.
