If it's an Aspie trait to listen to songs over and over again, I don't know, I think it varies from person to person - like stims.
I think this is right. I can understand it. The only time it happened for me was after I broke up with a particular girl who I really loved and I could not accept that we would not be together the rest of our lives. There was this one song that stood out [at the time] from an album by Savage Garden, it's a beautiful ballad called "I Don't Know You Anymore" and it was like Bev was saying this to me, it took me some eight years to get over her and be able to play this song without singing and crying [breaking down]...I would play this song over and over again just to torture myself...
I can post the lyrics here and if a music-link is available I will add it [but I am new and have to wait 5 days I think before I can do this?] Anyway, here are the details...

SAVAGE GARDEN
"I Don't Know You Anymore"
I would like to visit you for a while
Get away and out of this city
Maybe I shouldn't have called but someone had to be the first to break
We can go sit on your back porch
Relax
Talk about anything
It don't matter
I'll be courageous if you can pretend that you've forgiven me
Because I don't know you anymore
I don't recognize this place
The picture frames have changed and so has your name
We don't talk much anymore
We keep running from the pain
But what I wouldn't give to see your face again
Springtime in the city
Always such relief from the winter freeze
The snow was more lonely than cold
If you know what I mean
Everyone's got an agenda, don't stop
Keep that chin up, you'll be all right
Can you believe what a year it's been
Are you still the same?
Has your opinion changed?
'Cause I don't know you anymore
I don't recognize this place
The picture frames have changed and so has your name
We don't talk much anymore
We keep running from these sentences
But what I wouldn't give to see your face again
I know I let you down
Again and again
I know I never really treated you right
I've paid the price
I'm still paying for it every day
So maybe I shouldn't have called
Was it too soon to tell?
Oh what the hell
It doesn't really matter
How do you redefine something that never really had a name?
Has your opinion changed?
Because I don't know you anymore
I don't recognize this place
The picture frames have changed and so has your name
We don't talk much anymore
We keep running from the pain
But what I wouldn't give to see your face again
I see your face
I see your face
