I have been reading about how more advanced learners are overlearning their Assimil lessons by repeating them one hundred times for each lesson. I would like to start on the passive wave of the Assimil courses--however, I am one of those people that can't sit still. I am often running while I study my audio programs.
Does anyone have a fast method of using the Ipod to repeat a certain lesson for a set number of times--without having to repeatedly push the play button? Anything easier than creating a ton of playlists for a single Assimil lesson and having to import it a hundred times??? Thanks so much for helping out!

Any decent MP3-player should have a simple "repeat track" function (mine also has "repeat all", "repeat folder" and "repeat A->B"). Look for it.

I have a different brand of mp3 player, but what I did was install rockbox, an open source firmware, on it. You can also do this with an iPod, though I think it voids the warranty. Then, I just set it into the mode where it repeats a track indefinitely until I tell it to do something else. I don't know if an iPod can do this by default, but I'd be surprised if it couldn't; most music-playing software has a feature of this sort.

Thanks so much so far for your responses. I have an Ipod Classic 160 gb. It is relatively recent (past 2 years, I believe)--and I haven't done the 8.0.1 update yet...
I am a little hesitant about doing anything that voids a warranty. I was hoping for quick fix where I can click a button or two to repeat a track a hundred times and then onto the next track for 100 times. Gosh, that sounds a little dull and exacting, doesn't it???
