Songs or albums can be set to repeat from the Now Playing screen in the iPhone iPod app. To set a song or album to repeat, follow these steps:
1. Navigate to the iPod app.
2. Play a song.
3. On the Now Playing screen, you will see play and volume controls at the bottom of the screen. At the top is track information. Under the album title is a scrubbing bar that indicates the time remaining in the song.
You can change your dock shortcut icons at the bottom of the screen when the iPod app is running. The default icons from left to right are Playlists, Artists, Songs, Videos, and More.
To change this layout:
1. Open iPod and touch More.
2. Touch Edit at the top left of the screen.
3. Drag the icon you want into the task bar. Let go and it will replace whatever icon you drag it over.
4. Touch Done in the upper right hand corner.
Now you have custom icons in the iPod task bar.

Sony may have brought us the Walkman, but Apple has been dominating portable music players in recent years with the iPod.

An Apple spokesperson suggested that it would be technically possible to add the iTunes software in the future. It is not known at this time if first generation iPhones will be able to be updated with the iTunes software or if it will be a nextgen addition.
