#Repeat "spotdl" command

When I download a playlist, some songs aren't downloaded due to different type of errors.
Running the download command multiple times allows me with brute force to get the missing songs (duplicates aren't a thing/problem because they are detected and the relative songs are skipped).
How can I make the spotdl command be executed say 5 times without opening the shell and typing it 5 times? Is there a preference I can tweak or a command to repeat others? thx
