Turning Repeat off on iPod

I have an iPod 7.1 with iOS 12.5.6

My iPod plays the same song over and over unless I push the next button. I cannot find the repeat icon to turn it off.

Your iPod is in Repeat 1 mode. You need to tap the Repeat button again to turn off Repeat.


iOS 12.5.6 suggests the 6th generation iPod Touch, not 7th.


On the 6th gen Touch:

  • go to the Now Playing screen by tapping on the Now Playing ribbon upwards
  • drag Now Playing screen up so that the additional controls are revealed
  • the additional controls are the Shuffle and Repeat functions
  • tap the Repeat button so that the button has red text on a light grey background. That is Repeat is off



Each time you tap the Repeat button, the function toggles between:

  • Off
  • Repeat - which repeats the list
  • Repeat 1 - which repeats the same song
  • Off


In the screenshot below, the iPod is in Repeat 1 mode, which is indicated by the small 1 in the arrows:
