Track repeat on 272 - am I being thick?

Posted by: Dave***t on 24 March 2018

Not a feature I've needed to use in a long time, but I need to play one track on repeat, over and over again.

So I set the track playing on my 272 and pressed the repeat control in the app, expecting it to be something like one press for repeat album, two presses for repeat individual track.  Or something along those lines, at least.

But it'll only repeat the whole album - when the track I want to repeat ends, the next track starts regardless.  A double press just turns (album) repeat on and off again.  It's the same whether using the app or the remote.  

The manual refers to repeating tracks, albums or playlists, but doesn't specify anything about how to choose between the repeat modes.

Am I being thick, or is per-track repeat not available any more?

Hi Dave. It’s not a feature I’ve tried on the naim app but have you tried putting the track on its own playlist and playing that on repeat?

Hi Finkfan.  Yeah, that works, but it's a workaround rather than working as intended, if you see what I mean?

Fair enough if it's designed to be the way to do it, or if everything works fine for others and it's something I'm doing wrong.  But it seems more likely that the track repeat function has been unintentionally kicked off the feature list.  

A while back there was no balance control in the app for 172s, and when I asked Naim about it, they essentially said 'oops' and put it on the fix list to be put back in at the next app update.  I'm wondering if this is the same sort of thing.

You need to have tap for options turned on in the app (Settings-Other settings-Tap for options). Then you can tap the track, select "Play this track" then set repeat to On?
