Loop button. If you really love a certain album or playlist, you can command
the iPhone to play it over and over again, beginning to end. Just
tap the Loop button () so it turns blue (‡).
Tap the Loop button a second time to endlessly loop just this song.
a tiny clock icon appears on the blue loop graphic, like this &, to let you know
that you’ve entered this mode. Tap a third time to turn off looping.
Scroll slider. This slider (top of the screen) reveals three useful statistics:
how much of the song you’ve heard, in minutes:seconds format (at the
left end), how much time remains (at the right end), and which slot this
song occupies in the current playlist or album.
To operate the slider, drag the tiny round handle with your finger. (Just
tapping directly on the spot you want to hear doesn’t work.)
Shuffle button. Ordinarily, the iPhone plays the songs in an album
sequentially, from beginning to end. But if you love surprises, tap the
fl button so it turns blue. Now you’ll hear the songs on the album in
random order.
