Repeat track option

Please can we increase the options in the music app to repeating a single track, rather than just play all or shuffle.

I'm voting for this. In the meantime, there is a workaround to do this:

 

I was able to do something similar...

 

1. Created a playlist.

2. Added a song to the playlist.

3. Added the same song to the playlist.

4. Repeated #3, 20 times

5. Uploaded playlist/music to Ionic.

6. Played playlist on Ionic (no shuffle)

The playlist should look something like this:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:198,Stand Up And Shout
Y:\DIO\Holy Diver\01 - Stand Up And Shout.mp3
#EXTINF:198,Stand Up And Shout
Y:\DIO\Holy Diver\01 - Stand Up And Shout.mp3
#EXTINF:198,Stand Up And Shout
Y:\DIO\Holy Diver\01 - Stand Up And Shout.mp3

 

For a five minute music file, that's over 90 minutes of repeat of the same file. It goes quicker if you can manually edit the playlist and copy/paste.

Hi @NellyG,

 

OK, I figured out that the Ionic does support this. You just need to make a playlist containing the one audio track you want to repeat. Transfer it over to the Ionic.

Before turning on the bluetooth headset, swipe down, then select the 3 dots. Make sure the infinity Shuffle icon is highlighted!

 

Click Device, turn on the headset, and select it under Audio Output.

 

Hit Play.

 

Enjoy.

Basically, just a playlist with a single track, with shuffle turned on.

@WavyDavey ahh you are a genius! Well done on the trouble shooting! I will give do that to the tracks I like to repeat!

 This is a basic feature in a music player, the ability to loop a given song. The work around is not practical at all

A repeat function on the music app on the Versa 2 on the tracker. Asap!

Hi @linkinbest33, this is a good idea. Thanks for sharing your feedback. I've moved it into a similar request.  A lot of users are asking for this option, I hope we receive updates soon.
