QA Wanted to see if we can reproduce this on Flame KK 2.1

Does this break anything? I know it seems a little confusing (shuffling is a no-op if you only have one song), but if it doesn't break anything, I don't think it should be a blocker, and I'm not even convinced we should fix it at all. I'll explain why.

I imagine that most people who like shuffle keep it on most of the time. However, I doubt most people have "repeat single song" on most of the time, since if you did that, why would you even have more than one song in your music collection? My guess is that people who like shuffle will want that to be on all the time, and they might occasionally want to turn on "repeat single song". Once they get tired of that song, they'll turn off "repeat single song" and would expect the music app to return to playing a shuffled list of songs. Therefore, the user should be able to turn on "repeat single song" even when "shuffle" is on, and doing so shouldn't turn off shuffle.

(Note that I say this as someone who never shuffles in the music app because I primarily listen to full albums.)

NI to the owner of Audio/Video to weigh in on if this is a bug or not - 

just some added info - we have a handful of personal devices here (Android smartphone, i-phone) that has this same behavior.

Minus from blocking release. It is not a pleasant feature to have both enabled, something that we will incorporate with the music refresh initiative in 2.2.

HI Jim,
Thanks for explaining its usecase :)
Its not breaking any thing. Just wanted to be sure whether is it intentional.

Comment 7

[Edward Chen[:edchen]]

As I known, base on comment 3 that I agree this. This is not a bug, because repeat is high priority then shuffle.

Comment 8

[Stephany Wilkes]

This is intentional (to comment #6) and for repeat purposes (agree with comment #7). Suggest we mark this WONTFIX for these reasons.
