Q: using itunes on my iphone

I hope I can get help quickly because I'm trying to cut my lawn on a lawn tractor and I refuse to finish the lawn until I figure this out. My iTunes  (or the music app) on my iphone didn't use to work this way and I HATE IT NOW. (or too stupid to figure it out, or both).

 

I have tons of playlists, so I pick out one of my playlists to listen to while I ride the tractor. And the same song plays over and over. Ok crap. So I press "shuffle" and yes it picks a song out of the playlist and plays it over and over. How the **** do I get the playlist to play all the songs???  I've been doing it maually for the past few lawn cuts and this is insane.

 

I did a search for this here and on Google and although I got a lot of answer most were from 2012 so the answers didn't apply to my current IOS and my iphone 6. Please help me so I can cut my lawn.

Hi,

 

On your iPhone tap the name of the currently playing song at the bottom of the screen in the music app.

You should now see shuffle and repeat controls near the bottom of the screen.

Tap Repeat to cycle between the states Repeat Off, Repeat All, and Repeat One.

    Susan, sorry for the late reply; I am surprised no one answered earlier. I hope that by now you have found an answer but in case you have not, I am forwarding this post to the best iTunes expert I know of here, a very nice fellow by the screen name of "turingtest2". Hopefully he can help you on your next lawn cut.

     

    BTW, my wife and I used to own a small ranch west of Houston, 112 acres, and she used to mow (or shred) most of it once a quarter, would take her 2 days on a large John Deere. She used to love it; I could not figure it out but she found it relaxing. She either listened to the birds or her music player so we know your dilemma!!!  Cheers....

    I want to thank both of you for all your help. I never would have figured that out on my own. I stood in line to get the very first iPhone (and I got one that day not many did) and that phone I learned how to use everything. Since then they are getting more and more options and I find things that I use to know how to do, I don't any more.

     

    I can't tell you how happy I am, now it's the end of the summer so there aren't many lawn/field cuts left but I cut weekly thru the end of October so I'll have some time to enjoy my music. Most of what I don't understand any more centers around the music. I have iTunes Match and now Apple Music and have no idea what to do with any of it.

     

    elcpu I totally get why your wife loved the cutting, it's quite (at least with my headphones on) and I get to listen to great music and there is no one to bother me. 112 acres is a lot of cutting!!!

     

    Many thanks again to both of you.

     

    Susan

    Hi Susan,

     

    Just got up (Houston time) and saw that tt2 had "solved" your issue. I knew that if anyone could he would!!! He is not only very knowledgeable but also a pleasure to deal with; offers very comprehensive replies (he has helped me "big time" in the past). I recommend that you keep this thread bookmarked. In case you need further help with iTunes you can create a new thread describing your issue and then come back to this one, post a brief message to tt2 here including a link to your new thread; that way he is sure to get it. Does that make sense?

     

    Regarding my wife, she is both brain and street smart, a rare combination. She is a land and animal lover (so am I) and we often travel to nature where we can see/enjoy both. We are now older and retired, live on a much smaller piece of land which she still mows by choice; plenty of services around but she still likes it.

    Happy shredding!!!
