How to Use Autoplay, Loop & Shuffle for Music

What do these settings do?

  • Autoplay: Continues playing music automatically after the current track ends. You can choose to repeat the same song or play the next song in the list.

  • Shuffle: Plays songs from an album or playlist in a random order.

  • Note: These settings are currently available on the mobile app only. The website defaults to autoplaying all tracks.

How to Change Autoplay Settings

  1. Start playing any music track.

  2. Open the Player (full screen).

  3. Look for the Loop Icon (two arrows in a circle) to the right of the Forward button.

  4. Tap the icon to cycle through the three modes:

The 3 Autoplay Modes:

  • Enable Autoplay (All Tracks):

    • Icon: Green Loop Arrows (No number).

    • Action: The app will play the next song in the list/album automatically. It continues until you stop it.

  • Loop Current Track (Repeat One):

    • Icon: Green Loop Arrows with a "1" in the center.

    • Action: The app will play the current song on repeat forever until you stop it.

  • Disable Autoplay (Stop After One):

    • Icon: Grey Arrows.

    • Action: The music will stop completely once the current track finishes.

How to Use Shuffle

  • Enable Shuffle: Tap the Shuffle Icon (crossed arrows) to the left of the Rewind button.

  • Green Icon: Shuffle is ON (Random order).

  • Grey Icon: Shuffle is OFF (Standard order).

  • Important Rule: For Shuffle to work, you must also have Autoplay (All Tracks) enabled. If Autoplay is off or set to "Loop 1," Shuffle cannot function.

Limitations & Exceptions 

The Autoplay and Shuffle features are designed for the "Music" menu. They will NOT appear or work in the following situations:

  • Soundscapes: Nature sounds (Rain, White Noise) cannot be shuffled or autoplayed into other tracks. They only loop themselves.

  • Search Results: If you play a song directly from search results (and it's not part of an album context), it may not autoplay the next track.

  • Isolated Tracks: If you play a song from "Recently Played," "Favorites," or "Downloads" and there are no other music tracks listed in that specific list/carousel, the app has nothing to autoplay next.
