    Yes – mine too was stuck on repeat. I almost bought a new ipod, thinking it was broken. I agree this setting should be in SETTINGS!

    Thank you so much! I wondered for ages how do I repeat an album… All I had to do was tap the artwork to bring the menu up!

    Hi,
    Thank you sooooooooo much for posting this!! It was driving me crazy that I couldn’t make an album or a song repeat, especially when out running, esp as my old nano has completely died on me. Silly Apple for moving this from settings.
