Hidden iPhone Shuffle/Repeat

This morning I tried to listen to The Darjeeling Limited straight through when I discovered that it was skipping around the playlist even though I did not choose to shuffle songs. It turns out there are controls to shuffle songs as well as repeat a playlist or single track, just like on every other iPod model.

To reveal these controls:

  1. Navigate to the Now Playing screen.
  2. Tap on the album art. This will reveal icons for Repeat, Genius, and Shuffle, as well as a slider for track position in the center.
  3. Tap on icon you would like to turn on or off. A blue highlight means it is turned on.

I credit Dan at BrainLog for solving this problem. I followed his instructions but found them a difficult to understand (lack of caffeine on my part?) so I decided to rewrite them.
