It used to be that iTunes stopped playing after the last song of a playlist.
I really liked that.
Now it loops through the playlist, starting with the first song after the last song is played.
How can I turn this off so iTunes for the iPhone goes back to stop playing after the last song?
I can't see any preferences panel.
iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 9.1, 64 Gb
You need to turn Repeat off. The only place to do that is on the "Now Playing" screen (large view of the song's artwork). At the bottom there are two recirculating arrows, tap those until their background is no longer gray ... it alternates from Repeat Song, Repeat List, OFF. Admittedly, this is a horrible UI decision ...
Yes, the interfaces of Apple products are getting worse with each version.
I can't see the two circular arrows. I have the big picture, a follow button, a shuffle button.
then the album title.
then the songs.
On the bottom "my music" "for you" "new" "radio", "connect"
The whole iTunes interface needs to be reworked. Clutter like "for you" "follow" and other nonsense needs to get thrown out and sheer functionality should reign.
I feel Apple is getting full of itself. They start believing their own marketing, that they are geniuses, not just what they are: providers of entertainment hard- and software. I can't believe this interface comes from a company that was once known for its good and intuitive interfaces.
PS: I can't find those arrows.
Sounds like you first need to tap the "mini player" ... the narrow ribbon at the bottom showing the song that's playing (another terrible UI decision). That brings up the full artwork, at the bottom of that view you'll find the Repeat icon.
OK, I somehow found my way to the "now playing" screen.
Double-tapping a song got me there, and there is the repeat button - intuitive as Windows 3.1
I love the TV Show "Silicone Valley" -somebody got a clear view of what's going on there.
Apple should fire a few key people in the UI design department and go back to the form follows function principle. Intuitive interfaces explain their functionality through design.
iTunes doesn't stop after playing last song of playlist
