Try turning off the Repeat function.


Don't forget, the Repeat function has not two, but three settings and cycles from one to the next each time you tap Repeat:

  • Off - (when the current list finishes, the player will stop)
  • Repeat - (when the current list finishes, the player will repeat that list)
  • Repeat 1 - (the same song will play over and over)


So if your player is in Repeat mode, tapping the repeat button will put the player into Repeat 1 mode and the same song will play over and over until you:

  1. stop the player
  2. manually select another song
  3. tap the Repeat button again to put the player into Off mode


When the iPod is in Repeat 1 mode, you will notice a small 1 in the repeat arrows on the iPod.
