IPOD Willl Not Shuffle

My IPOD songs will only repeat. I can't seem to get the songs to Shuffle. Do I need to turn it off and try again?

iPod, 12

No, you simply need to turn off the Repeat function.


On most iPods, the Repeat button is close to the Shuffle button. One thing to note though, the Repeat button cycles through the following:

  • Off - (obviously, repeat is off)
  • Repeat - once the playlist has played the last song, the iPod will play (repeat) that list again
  • Repeat 1 - the iPod will play just the one song over and over until you turn Repeat off. In this mode, there is usually a small 1 in the arrows indicating repeat
  • Off
