why does song keep repeating?

Whenever I try to play music through my iPhone, I go to and choose the playlist, and when I hit play, the first spong in the playlist just plays over and over. When I then hit shuffle, it randomly picks a song from the pkaylist and plays THAT song over and over. How do I get the iPhone to play different songs without manually changing the song after each one finishes?

iPhone 3GS, Shuffle or regular

It isn't labeled as "Now Playing" (people just refer to it that way). Tap the narrow strip near the bottom of the app where the song's name is (the song that's playing). That will bring up the artwork (i.e. "Now Playing") and you should see the repeat icon at the bottom, just to the right of your Home button (and no, that button doesn't have a label either ;-)
