Ipod Touch won't advance to next song

Hi -


My Ipod touch just started doing this today. Whenever I shuffle the contents, it will only advance to the next song when I manually click the >> button. It won't do so automatically. It just keeps replaying the last song. I've tried resync'ing with iTunes but its still happening. Is this a setting in iTunes or the ipod or elsewhere ?


Thanks !

iPod touch, Windows 10

Turn off the Repeat function.


  1. Go to the Now Playing screen
  2. Drag the screen upwards until you see the Shuffle and Repeat buttons
  3. Turn off the Repeat function


Tapping the Repeat button cycles through Repeat off, Repeat (all), Repeat 1


If the button is grey, repeat is off.

If the button is red, Repeat is on:

If the button is red and has a 1 in the arrows, then Repeat 1 is on (which plays the same song over and over again):
