listenonrepeat.com was up for years until last month, when it mysteriously went offline. I haven't found any sites like it. I could just paste in a youtube link and have it play right away, and choose the start and end times for looping, and it had a count for how many times you played the song, as well viewing history (with start & end times saved) so you could easily listen to previous songs.

If you know any scripting, that would be pretty easy to code up something. Simple enough that I would just make a bash script and use it.

yt-dlp <-- download file

ffmpeg <-- trim the file if you want to change start/end times

mpv <--- or whatever to play file

printf or echo <-- throw the stats into a data file

Then you could run whatever you want on your data file (sort/uniq/awk/etc) to get bespoke stats, most played, latest played, etc.

Otherwise, something like https://agrahn.gitlab.io/ABLoopPlayer/ gets you some of what you want, and seems to be able to export some of the info into a json file.

Another option is to download then open with VLC and use the loop function to select what needs to repeat.

Yeah, mpv or whatever media player. Most players can do an a-b loop. But if that's all, then you're missing on the historical stats stuff OP mentioned.

Yup. The site probably went offline because the owner didn't want to keep up with YouTube's changing APIs.
