Repeat song
rb4me:
Well of course it is the way how rockbox worked and the way it is worked is not the normal operation.
And if I have to request a new feature then it should be the "repeat one" mode that rockbox has right now which is odd.

To make is a feature request, you'll need to create a thread in the "Feature Ideas" section of this forum with a clear and succinct description of the behavior you'd like to see happen.

This is not for feature requests - it is for ideas, where people can discuss an idea and the best way of implementing it.

Honestly, I don't think that a discussion of whether or not the >>| should advance to the next track when "Repeat One" is selected is a feature request or a feature idea. Regardless, under our forum guidelines, it was perfectly appropriate to post this thread in the general forum. We state:

Nothing regarding Rockbox is strictly off topic there, and as well it is understandable that sometimes which forum to use can be unclear. Falling back to General helps prevent off-topic posting in most of the other boards, and the post can be moved if there is a more appropriate board.

Personally, I agree with rb4me that it would be better for the >>| to advance to the next track when "Repeat One" is selected. With the current behavior, there is no way to advance to the next track without either entering the file browser and manually selecting the next track, or going into the settings to turn off "Repeat One." At the same time, under the current behavior, the |<< and >>| buttons do the same thing. If the >>| button advanced to the next track, no functionality would be lost because the |<< button would still return to the beginning of the current track.
Chronon:
I'm neutral on this issue since I don't usually use this repeat mode, myself. I just want to point out that with the current state of things one could also view the current playlist from the WPS context menu. This gives a way to select the next track in the playlist. The quick screen may or may not give a way to toggle this setting quickly, depending on a user's setup.
