I can see you are struggling on the placement of the loop and randomize button placement. They still seem like they’re bolted on as an after thought. Maybe dim them unless they’re active. I don’t really like the way your eye is drawn to them. Just throwing this idea out there though it may rattle other users- maybe it makes more sense to just expose those buttons on the playlist view instead of cramping the now playing controls.

I was also thinking in the same direction, repeat and shuffle logically belong (more) to playlists, not to "Now Playing", so why not put these there? But honestly, with the current iPad layout it would be difficult to squeeze them in there somewhere, as the playlist is not a separate screen… and other apps also place theses controls somewhere on the Now Playing display
