How do I loop a playlist on the new iPod touch?

I'm trying to loop a playlist so it constantly plays, but it keeps stopping when it has played it all the way through once.

iPod touch, iOS 10.3.3

This might sound like a silly question, but how are you trying to "loop" it?


The usual method is to start the playlist running and on the Now Playing screen, tap the Repeat button. You need to swipe the Now Playing screen upwards as the Repeat and Shuffle buttons are lower down the page.


The button toggles between Off, Repeat (all) and Repeat 1

The Repeat button has:

  • a light grey background, Repeat is Off
  • a red background, Repeat is On and once the list has finished, the list will repeat
  • a red background and a 1 next to the arrows, Repeat 1 is on and will repeat the same song over and over


I've just tried it and it works correctly.
