How would you/do you say "repeat" in Irish, as in, "I had that track on repeat on my iPod" or similar?

Athdhéanamh or athrá seem plausible, but I've never had this conversation in Irish before, so wondering if common usage has settled on a particular term.

Athsheinm - 'replay, playback' for music, videos etc. Maybe Tá an traic sin ar athsheinm agam ar mo iPod, though I think your typical native speaker might say ar repeat instead. Let's see what Bríd Mhór (native speaker) says...
A Bhríd, cén Ghaeilge a bheadh agatsa air?

Thanks, Errigal. Athsheinm makes more sense than the terms I mentioned, though you're right, the folks around here would probably say "ar repeat" in any case.

Ní raibh aon fhocal agam féin air, but "athsheinm" sounds good for "repeat""replay" :good:
