Recently, I downloaded iTunes for Windows 8, and when I played my first album, I wanted to repeat it… The entire album. And let it play into the night as I fell asleep to the music.
However, I could not find any way to do this.
There used to be an easy way to repeat an album, song, or playlist. At least that’s how I remember it. To be honest, it was so easy, I never paid any attention, because it was intuitive and I just knew how to do it by figuing out how to do it the first time.
It would seem apple has changed the “repeat” function for some reason, and a lot of folks are complaining about it.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks all

I found the answer.
The menu bar is hidden by default.
Once I found that,
Go to “controls”,
Go to “repeat”
Choose “repeat all”
Repeat icon REAPPEARS!
Why Apple did this, I do not know. A solution to a problem that didn’t exist.
Thanks for anyone who read this.
Sorry, I didn’t figure this out before posting the question…
