Ironic. I was just coming to this thread again as I realized I hadn't actually answered your question.

You are quite right. The icon on the left which looks like two arrows crossing is 'Shuffle' and the two arrows chasing each other are 'repeat'.

When either are active the icon colour will change from white to green. Repeat can be toggled twice: once repeats the entire album/playlist and the second time (indicated by the number '1' shown in the icon) sets repeat to only repeat the active track.

Tap the icon again to disable.

The icons used are industry standard media icons used universally. However if you are ever unsure on how the Android application works or have any questions please do not hesitate to post here on the forum where (mostly) someone would be willing to help.
