Will not advance to next song

My iPod touch model a1574 will not advance to the next song in an album or playlist. If I do not manually click on the next song, the first song played will just repeat. Ideas???

iPod, iOS 12

Turn off the Repeat function.


The Repeat function has three positions:

Off - Repeat is off and the repeat button is in light grey, with red text

On - Repeat is on and the repeat button will be red, with white text. Once the current list of songs has finished playing, the list will play again

Repeat 1 - Repeat the same song is on (until you manually select another song). The button is still in red, with white text but there is now a small 1 in the arrows (see the screenshot below)

Off - repeat is now turned off again.


Note that when the iPod is in Repeat mode, tapping the Repeat button once will put it into Repeat 1 mode. So to turn off repeat, you need to tap the button a second time.
