How do I loop songs in iTunes 12?

You can access the repeat options if you right-click on the shuffle icon or if menus are enabled you can use

Controls > Repeat > Off | All | One.

Once the control is visible you can click it to switch between states as before. If the control is turned to off it disappears on the next track change. In contrast the shuffle control remains visible whenever it is appropriate. Hopefully the next release will fix this.

Thx, that helped me a lot. I was so irritated to find the control missing. Whether it will be restored in the future versions remains to be seen. From my experience, Apple's updates have been bundled up with quite a number of downgrades resulting in loss of functionality that was never restored in later updates. One prime example in my case was the chapter support for audiobooks on iOS devices. It disappeared somewhere around version 7 and never came back. An I used to love that function as I love to listen to audiobooks.

Thanks for the tip. The fact that there's a post on this subject says something about Apple's software revision.

you can also press Alt to bring up the menu bar

any solution for iPad users? i cannot loop a song in my Mini.

Tap the name of the song where it appears just above For You - New - Radio - etc. This should show a now playing screen with large artwork and various player controls including shuffle and repeat to the bottom left. You could possibly use Siri as well.
