relistening
Playing it back
Relistening is listening to something again—a song, podcast, audiobook, or recording you've heard before.
The word emphasizes return rather than repetition: I've been relistening to her early albums.
Unlike replay, which focuses on the medium, relistening centers the listener's experience.
