Songs Repeat

My 6th generation 32G iPod plays the same song over and over again. All the songs on the iPod are ripped from CDs.

iPod, iOS 12

Drag the Now Playing screen upwards to reveal the additional controls:



If the button is red, with white text, the function is on. If a button is light grey, with red text, the function is off.


Note that the Repeat function has three, not two states:

  • Off - (left image) - when the current song finishes, the next song in the list is played. When the list finishes, the player stops
  • Repeat - (centre image) - when the current list finishes, it plays again
  • Repeat 1 - (right image, with a 1 in the "repeat" arrows) - when the current song finishes it plays again


If you have the iPod in Repeat mode, pressing the button once puts it into Repeat 1 mode, rather than turning repeat off. The Shuffle button has just two states, on and off.
