you can either have it stop playing or repeat the playlist when it reaches the end dependant upon the settings you choose for that playlist

if you press the back button withing 3 seconds of the song starting it goes to the previous track. so if you are playing the first track it goes to the last track. if you hit the back button after 3 seconds it goes to the beginning of the track you are playing. if you press forward on the last track in the playlist it goes to the first track in the playlist

having it work like a big cd changer would not be a problem
