Title: Can not go to next song with "Repeat One" on ?????
Post by: mikehahaha on March 06, 2012, 02:25:09 PM

Set Repeat One on.
Press Next button, it won't go to next song.
Why's that?

Because you told it to repeat one track forever?

It SHOULD repeat forever if I don't do anything.
But what if I want to listen to and repeat the next song?
That means I have to remove repeat first and then go to next song, and then repeat it again?
Does that sound convenient?

That does seem like an odd choice for the repeat option.  I wonder if that is intentional or just a consequence of how our buffering system works.

It's a consequence of how buffering works. We should probably fix it so that skipping forwards still changes track (causing a rebuffer), though it might be nice to have an option to keep the current behaviour for people who are using it to, say, learn a piece of music. The majority of people probably don't want it to work this way.
