Media_player Song Loop

Configuration
1

I’m trying to get a song to loop forever to my Google Home speakers. I adapted the automation that gets rid of the “BWEEP” song the speakers make to loop a rain mp3 file. I’ve yet to confirm this as the file is a 30 minute mp3, but I’m assuming that after the song ends, the casting will end along with it.

Is there an easy way to order the song to continue looping forever?

- alias: Google Home Rain
  trigger:
    platform: time
    minutes: '/10'
    seconds: 00
  condition:
    condition: or
    conditions:
      - condition: state
        entity_id: media_player.home_group
        state: 'off'
      - condition: state
        entity_id: media_player.home_group
        state: 'idle'
  action:
    service: media_player.play_media
    entity_id: media_player.home_group
    data:
      media_content_id: 'http://my_ip:8123/local/rainstorm.mp3'
      media_content_type: 'audio/mp3'

This is my current automation. I figure a cheap trick could be to instead send a playlist that just has the same song playing over and over again, but I was hoping there’d be a cleaner method as I don’t want to even start thinking about how the Google Home devices will react to playlists.

Thanks!

if you have the mp3 locally, which it looks like you do, i’d recommend just using a free piece of software like Audacity to convert it into a several hour long, looping mp3 and then use that.
