I could swear this used to be easy.
I've found a song that I want playing over and over and over again
while I work. It's beautiful, melodious, and would be perfect background
noise while I do my nerd thing. But I couldn't find where to set the
repeat or shuffle command ANYPLACE within the music app on my iPhone.
Every time I'd look at the song's "context menu," I saw options to add
to a playlist, play next, play later, and sharing and liking options,
but nothing for simply triggering a repeat or shuffle.
Well, turns out I couldn't find it because it's not in the music app
at all. To get to these options, you have to use the little control menu
that has options for airplane mode, WiFi, Bluetooth and so on at the
bottom of your screen. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to access
the menu.
The first form has the options I mentioned earlier across the
top, and access to the flashlight, timer, calculator and camera across
the bottom. Swipe left to access the second form, which is dedicated to
music player controls.
This second form shows the album cover art at left, with text at
right, starting with the name of the current track. Tap on the track
name to bring up info about the track in a full-length form.
Now scroll up on that form to reveal the shuffle and repeat buttons.
