Repeating Tracks


Sometimes, you just can’t get enough. In that case, you can set iTunes to repeat an entire CD once or to repeat only a single song. To repeat your tunes, check out these pointers:
  • To have iTunes repeat an entire CD, choose Controls, Repeat All or click the Repeat button located at the bottom of the window (third one from the left). The Repeat button will become highlighted to show you that it is active, and the CD will repeat when you play it.
  • To repeat only the selected song, choose Controls, Repeat One or click the Repeat button a second time. A “1” will appear on the Repeat button to indicate that only the current song will be repeated.
  • To turn off the repeat function, choose Controls, Repeat Off or click the Repeat button until it is no longer highlighted in blue.

Getting Random


For a little variety, you can have iTunes play songs in a random order. This feature is called Shuffle. To use this feature, click the Shuffle button located at the bottom of the window (second one from the left) or choose Controls, Shuffle. The songs will be reordered in the Content pane and will play in the order in which they are listed (hopefully in a random fashion). The Shuffle button will be highlighted to indicate that it is active.
To return the CD to its natural order, click the Shuffle button again or choose Controls, Shuffle.
