Listening to your favorite new song everyday for a week is spaced repetition and very enjoyable, no pain whatsoever. You'll quickly learn the nuances of the song that you didn't pick up in your first few listens. Also a great way to memorize lyrics.

This relates to learning as much as watching some coding streams on Twitch to an actual coding.

  That’s a value judgement which has nothing do to with whether or not listening to a song repeatedly counts as spaced repetition.

    Being exposed to a song does not really counts as learning, but another thing is an analysis of chords, lyrics, post-procession effects, rhythm. Intention to repeat that in their own creative project is a judge.

      If I have gained the ability to recite the lyrics of a song after being "exposed" to it for some time, it seems that I have indeed learned something.

        In some genres, such as opera or modern pop songs like "pumped up kicks" or rap with some well-hidden links, or just a song containing some foreign language - this approach is so hard that if you want to learn you just download the lyrics and just read with no distortion of sense.

        Yes you have. But that has happened by accident. You didn't try to learn the song, you just happened to be somewhere it was playing many times. (I say 'many' if you really learned the whole song correctly) If you really WANT to learn something you cannot rely on such accidents happening. Accidents are not a method.

That's a good example of an exceptional case. It is a good result to know. But really the learning-science is concerned about how to make learning so enjoyable that you are willing to do it. However the case of learning your favorite tune does not help much with the general question of what techniques you should use when trying to learn something else than your favorite tune :-)

> Listening to your favorite new song everyday for a week is spaced repetition and very enjoyable, no pain whatsoever. That's not really SRS though; a key part of SRS is the heuristic for when you next get exposed to the thing you're trying to remember based on your previous "got it"/"missed it" response. I suppose "every day" is one such heuristic, but it's not really in the spirit of SRS. And you're mixing up enjoying the content with the mechanics of an SRS system.
