Known Limitations
- This only works for Premium Spotify users. The seek API is unfortunately only allowed for Spotify Premium.
- This extension is only supported on Chrome. It has been tested on Windows and OSX desktops. It has not been tested on *nix platforms.
- The extension client authorization only lasts 1hour. After every hour, the user will need to allow the extension access to its Spotify account again. This is a current limitation with Spotify's front-end client authorization flow.

Bronius Motekaitis (ID: 0000001eee68507f) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 11/11/2023 I am so happy to have come across a Spotify A/B looping utility! It's quite easy to use: Open a Spotify track in the browser, click on the Sloopy Chrome browser extension, set and tweak your Start and End scrubbers, and off it goes, on and on. But it's not perfect... Little tweaks would perfect it: - Smaller scrub handlers. They overlap too much on short passages. - ..with accurate "Start" indicator on the scrubber: It appears it's not the left end that marks where on the timeline the A/B handler begins but where the mouse was clicked "through" the scrubber. Better to just put a thin "needle" down on the specific spot (preferably on the hard left side of each A and B). - Would like to see the written-out timestamp that is on the label update as the A/B scrubber is moved - Superimposed, zoomed in scrubber floating atop (or even off to the side) of the Spotify scrubber - Alternate textfield or up/down dials entry to mark specific start/stop in hundredths of a second. I don't think I've ever had to spell out the word "hundredths" before! remarkable. But i am SO happy -- this is the only tool I know of to do musical Practice A/B looping in Spotify! Thank you!!
