Hi,
the repeat option is always on by default every time I pick a song or an album to play and it's REALLY REALLY REALLY annoying!!!
How can I change it to not repeat?
Thanks!
iPhone 6, iOS 8.4.1
Hello there, adi.
It sounds like when you play music, the repeat setting is turned on for what you play. The following link to the online iPhone User Guide provides the instruction on how to change the repeat setting:
Play music
Control playback. Tap a song to play it and show the Miniplayer. Tap the Miniplayer to show the Now Playing screen, where you can do the following:
Tap
to skip to the next song.
Tap
to return to the song’s beginning.
Double-tap
Skip to any point in a song. Drag the playhead. Decrease the scrubbing speed by sliding your finger down the screen.
Share music. Tap
, then choose a sharing option.
Shuffle. Tap
to play your songs in random order.
Repeat. Tap
to repeat an album or playlist. Double-tap

Hi pedro,
Thanks for your reply...
I know how to turn the repeat off once it's on, the problem is that when I select a new album/playlist to play the repeat will turn back ON...
I never want my music to repeat but this option is ON by default and every time I choose a new playlist/album to play the repeat is ON no matter what was the status before.
This kind of behavior is unexpected and it started when Apple introduced the new Music app with Apple Music support (8.4).

Thank you so much for this picture and info. I have been going crazy trying to find out how to repeat one song. You made my days!!!
Repeat music is ON by default, how can I change it permanently?
