Is it possible to have the ipod shuffle repeat a song over and over? Like in an endless loop?

Was wondering if it is possible to have the ipod shuffle repeat a song over and over ON purpose.......like an endless loop? Traveling and want to have my ocean sounds repeated for noise purposes. Thanks in advance!

If it's a 3rd or 4th gen iPod shuffle, make a playlist with only that one "song" (the ocean sounds). Select to play that playlist. Since it only has that one song, it should repeat over and over. You can put "regular" songs on other playlists.


If it's a 1st or 2nd gen iPod shuffle, the only way to do the same thing would be to load only that one song (and nothing else) on the shuffle. Then, it will play over and over. There may be some workarounds (to allow having other songs)...

Yes! Confirmed this works. I was just about to answer the same thing. Remember, to then select the playlist, press and hold the "Voice Over" button and then quick-press again when you hear the name of the single-song playlist to activate it. To activate "Voice Over" make sure you do so in iTunes under the 'Summary'.
