The app is marked by a black icon with a green circle containing three black curved lines. You can find it on the home screen or in a folder on your device.

If the button is green and displays the number one, only the currently playing song will be repeated. Make sure this option is disabled if you want to play all the songs on the list randomly.
- Touch the playback icon to change the repeat option between mute, repeat all songs, or repeat only one song.
