Is it an -ism?

I heard a word once, that was used to describe the act of listening to the same song over and over again. But I can't remember what it was! It's driving me crazy.

Does anyone know of this term?

Repetitive Stress Syndrome?

Piasism? (Play it again, Sam-ism)

Kidding aside, it would be great if there is such a word. I assume that you mean the act of wanting to listen to a song over and over, rather than being forced to, such as when you are on hold for an hour waiting for customer service.

I hope it is not “auditism.” Welcome, Baristagirl.

Here's a video that deals with your question.
