Research direction
Investigate how the repeat mode is currently implemented (likely in player components). Look at existing settings persistence patterns, e.g., in SharedPreferences or database. Check if there is a Settings interface. Consider modifying the repeat button state to be saved on change and restored on app restart. Refer to discussions link for more context.
